Brooke and Whitney worked with Dr. Michael Stokes on a new research project to explore the ecological role of rodents in South African savannas.  In particular, they examined the role rodents play as seed predators on tree species of conservation concern.  They recently presented their research at the national, annual conference of The Wildlife Society in Pittsburgh.  They have been invited to present this research at the Posters at the Capitol event in Frankfort, Kentucky in February.
