PITTSBURG, Kan. — Students in the Pittsburg State University Biology Department have again been asked to collect data at sites throughout the Pittsburg area for a national project being conducted by the Smithsonian Institution. The goal of the project is to document the diversity of mammal life across the U.S. Taylor Michael, Khloey Stringer, and Austin Abram — all students of Associate Professor Christine Brodsky — deployed Snapshot USA cameras in natural areas for the national mammal survey and will monitor them through October. It is the fourth year Brodsky and a group of students have participated representing the state of Kansas; each year, a different student team has collected data.
