Claire Lignac's paper (Lignac and Mumme 2023) was featured in the American Ornithological Society's Wing Beat blog. Claire is a member of the Allegheny College Class of 2021.
Will Harrod's paper (Harrod and Mumme 2021) was one of four finalists, out of 48 eligible papers, for "Best ECR Paper 2020;" best paper by an early career researcher published online in 2020 by Ibis, the journal of the British Ornithologists' Union (BOU). Will's work was also featured on the BOU blog and in a nice piece written by Emma Highland for the Allegheny College News Center. Will is a member of the Allegheny College Class of 2021.
Cat Gillespie's paper (Gillespie et al. 2020) is based on her 2017 senior project and was highlighted in the Winter 2020/21 issue of In the Drift, the quarterly newsletter of the Society for Freshwater Science.
