Last year, I received funds from BIOSINQ to support research on American pikas in the La Sal mountains, which was spent on lab supplies and temperature sensors. This year, one student, Holly Nelson learned how to extract stress hormones from pika scat in the lab and to analyze samples collected in 2021 from the La Sal mountains and from a collaborator in Alaska. She will soon be analyzing data from the temperature sensors that we placed in the field this summer, and she hopes to present these results at a national conference next summer. Below are 2 photos of Holly in the lab conducting this research. We are profoundly thankful for all donations to this account!
