Despite extensive surveillance of raccoons (given their role as vectors of rabies) and communications with pathologists and wildlife rehabilitators regarding our research, tumor cases have only been found in the western United States (California, Oregon, and Washington). A crucial step in establishing ...
Batsare on the rebound in the Hudson Valley which is a great thing for our environment. Bats might be thought of as scary and hard to look at but they play an important role in our local ecosystem. Bobcat PC: Anita Elder Design Bobcat Bobcatsightings in the Hudson Valley seem to be on...
However, my data suggest that all habitat patches cannot be explicitly defined as sources or sinks, rather a continuous distribution exists that likely is tied to both underlying variance in habitat quality and additional variance associated with sampling error. Given the significant role of raccoons ...
Speciation of Hg is very important for gaining an understanding of ecosystem and organism Hg dynamics. Further work is needed to establish whether Se plays a role in Hg sequestration and whether hair Hg is a good surrogate for estimating Hg concentrations in other tissues in south Florida raccoon...

The potential, scale-dependent, effects of kin-structure on disease exposure risk revealed by our analyses could play an important role in elucidating disease dynamics in natural populations and in planning effective disease mitigation strategies.Guha Dharmarajan...
