We are whooshing through summer already, busy with data generation and analysis, but also taking time for fun and relaxation.  Our lab has a lot of different projects going on right now, on lots of different and interesting species.  It has been fun and sometimes challenging to think deeply about each project.  Such is the nature of conservation I think.

We also have a book chapter and several new lab publications to share (always happy to provide copies):
