Erica, Robin Tinghitella and Luana Maroja were awarded an NSF Rules of Life grant to study the evolution of variable species boundaries in field crickets. As part of our public education efforts, Julie Morris will be helping us organize Nature Challenges on singing insects. The team is excited to get started!

Erica and Kelsie were awarded a grant from Jefferson County to study three species of cottontail rabbit in the Denver area. This grant is a collaboration with Dr. John Demboski at the Denver Muesum of Nature and Science. Kelsie is ready to get to the DMNS and get started!

The DU Nature Challenge was a success! Despite cold weather, we still found a few Orthopterans.
