The funds from last year’s BIOSINQ supported research in my lab
investigating the ecological physiology of small mammals. Students in my lab laid the ground work to
determine the impacts of climate change on small bodied herbivores, and more
specifically the impacts of rising ambient temperatures on woodrats or
packrats. In 2021, BIOSINQ funds were used to purchase consumable supplies for
field work, a research-grade camera trap, and helped support my research
student Jada Mulford attend and present her research at a national conference
(two photos of Jada are included below).
In January 2022, Jada will present a poster titled “Analyses of baseline
ecological data to address local impact of climate change on woodrats” at the
annual conference for the Society of Integrative & Comparative Biology.
These BIOSINQ funds were crucial to support undergraduate research while also
assisting a long-term ecological study based locally here in Grand Junction. A
big thank you to donors for supporting basic research activities and authentic
research experiences for students in biology here at CMU!
