This fall-winter we welcome two visiting student researchers to the lab.
Marina de Souza is a PhD student from the Universidade Federal do Paraná in Brazil. While in the lab Marina will develop part of her thesis on road ecology using an extensive dataset to estimate the effect of paving on roadkill rate. She is excited for this period of learning and exchanging experiences.
Zilva van Rossum is a visiting master’s student from the University of Amsterdam in The Netherlands. During her time in the lab, she will study dispersal adaptations in the Glanville fritillary butterfly in response to fragmentation per se, landscape quality, and heterogeneity. She hopes to use this time to learn more about landscape ecology and integrate it with the landscape genetics theory she learned at her home university.
