The is a collaborative effort led by Chris and her EBIO graduate students (Liesl Erb and Jennifer Wilkening), and supported by the Denver Zoo, Center for Native Ecosystems, CSU's Natural Resources Ecology Lab, and Colorado Division of Wildlife. Trained citizens on the "Pika Patrol" will document details of the pika's distribution around the State, to evaluate hypothesized effects of climate change during this long-term study. Interns wanted, starting this Fall!
