Post date: Mar 28, 2015 3:30:8 AM

Paul Sesink Clee ('10, Biology) published a research article in BMC Evolutionary Biology

entitled, "Chimpanzee population structure in Cameroon and Nigeria is associated with habitat variation that may be lost under climate change". In an accompanying BMC Evolutionary Biology blog post, Paul describes his experiences working in the field at Lobeke National Park in southeast Cameroon. Paul uses GIS to help model the impact of climate change on chimpanzee habitat.
