Start of a new research endeavor with the establishment of a colony of thirteen lined ground squirrels at NMU Biology. First step: trapping this small hibernator before winter start! Second step: bringing those squirrels into captivity. Big steps done for the Energetics Lab!

Hi! I am thrilled to announce the very first step of the Energetics Lab at Northern Michigan with the establishment of a shed (place!) for housing a first hibernating species for my Lab. The plan is to bring 13-lined ground squirrels next spring. First tests during this winter.
