We have published a new issue! Actually we published it a couple of weeks ago, but I was busy finishing my PhD thesis revisions (my PhD is finally over), so this blog post had to wait on a back burner temporarily. I apologize for the delay.
Volume 126 issue 3 covers a variety of taxa, regions, and topics, as you've come to expect from CFN. Predictors of snake roadkill? Check. Caribou crossing sea ice? Check. Plus some of the most bad-ass animals are featured in all their bad-ass glory: badgers, fishers, wolves, and lamprey. And orchids and willows, which I will also call bad-ass just so my botanist friends do not flog me with poison ivy. Enjoy the issue!
