This project is located in Sabah, Borneo in Malaysia based at the Danau Girang Field Centre. This project aims to look at the ecology of the squirrels that inhabit the lower Kinabatangan wildlife sanctuary, with as many as 15 species ranging from Bornean pygmy squirrels to Sunda giant squirrels. We will be investigating how these species share resources and the rainforest habitats in which they live. Along with this, we will aim to find a species that can serve as an indicator of rainforest health.

As part of our work in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, this project aims to determine whether red squirrel middens affect biodiversity or species occupancy and if so, which guilds (i.e. carnivores, herbivores, etc.) are most or least affected. Stationed in a lodgepole pine stand in the Bridger Teton National Forest, Lauren Wetterau is surveying biodiversity via vegetation surveys, bird point counts, and wildlife cameras, comparing midden locations with paired random locations.
