Happy #NationalSkunkDay! Our lab studies the #evolution of warning coloration and animal defenses using wild striped #skunks as a model prey. We do behavioral studies and have been live trapping for 5 summers. Looking forward to starting new projects this year. #colsci #csulb

New lab pub! #Skunks are more fearful of #owls than #coyotes. This is, to our knowledge, the first ever experimental study of #skunk behavior in the wild! Congrats and thanks to @KimAnnFisher for the hard work on her MS! Check it out in Animal Behaviour! https://t.co/pSL4TOpQxf

Oops! 12 hours of surveying in 105+ heat “led” me to a typo 😁🤷🏻‍♀️

After plenty of failed research projects in undergrad, grad school lead to my first time published in a peer reviewed journal! Read my and @CSULBMammalLab paper on #skunk #behavior in the Journal of Animal Behaviour @AnimBehSociety ... https://t.co/TjQBFE9V77

Trump has accused California of mismanaging water to fight the wildfires. California officials disagree. "We have plenty of water to fight these wildfires, but let’s be clear: It’s our changing climate that is leading to more severe and destructive fires." https://t.co/ahEQgClCXC

Successful talk on #skunk #fear at #ABS2018! Skunks are more fearful of #owl cues than #coyote cues. Good to share the work of my former MS student (@KimAnnFisher) that will be published next week!# @CSULB #MytopCollege @2018Abs

We have a new record #skunk! This #heavyweight weighed in at 4.1kg, shattering the previous record of 3.7kg. He was a recapture from last year, when he only weighed 2kg! Doubled in size! #research @CSULB #mytopcollege #wildlife #ThursdayThoughts #nature #Science

This juv skunk was just released after we worked it up and wandered over to another trap where a lactating female skunk was still waiting to be processed. Maybe his mother! He eventually left for his burrow and we successfully worked her up too. It was an interesting interaction!

Had the pleasure of officially hooding three awesome scientists from my lab today for their MS degrees (Hannah Walker, Rita Collins, and Kim Fisher) and celebrating Nicole Lopez's Keyser Fellowship! Congrats! #WomenInSTEM #csulb @KimAnnFisher @nicollelopezz

Happy #womeninscienceday and congratulations and support to all of the amazing women that I have worked with and all #womeninscience. These are just a sampling of my most recent #research students from the last 6 months and so there are countless more not pictured. Thank you!

@CSULBMammalLab @the_wildersmith Now you have a skunk and a raccoon from me to remind you of our behavioral work! :)

The peccaries slept next to the carcass of their dead herd member and even defended it from coyotes https://t.co/szdvEfaaIp
