Event Details
Over the past 4 years, undergraduate researchers have used camera traps and radiotelemetry to study desert tortoise ecology at the extreme southern edge of their range at Boyd Deep Canyon Desert Research Center. We discovered this population contains hatchling, juvenile, and adult tortoises. We documented behaviors at burrows with the goal of gaining insight into how these tortoises respond to extreme and changing climate conditions. Tortoise burrows also attract other species, and we are identifying the community that uses these burrows across space and time. Our collaboration highlights the value of student-driven research in advancing conservation science.
