Interested in spending most of the summer out in the field? My research program focuses on the behavioral and population ecology of mammals in the high-elevation forests of southeastern Arizona's mountains with an emphasis on conservation biology. Projects involve work on the endangered Mt. Graham red squirrel and its response to forest thinning and insect damages, as well as the influence of an introduced species, the Abert's squirrel, on an uncommon native, the Arizona Gray Squirrel. Transportation to and from the field, camping or cabin sites for periods up to 10 days, required field equipment, great views, and stimulating questions provided. If interested, contact Dr. John L. Koprowski in Wildlife and Fisheries Science at: squirrel@ag.arizona.edu
