JULIE JUNG (Team Veery 2014; Williams College)
Project: Consider the chipmunk: Road noise effects on eavesdropping systems in eastern chipmunks Julie is a senior Biology major and Environmental Science concentrator at Williams College. She and I worked together through the REU program at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in the summer of 2014. Julie studied road noise effects on the eavesdropping system between the eastern chipmunk and eastern tufted titmouse dyad. Currently, she is working on her honors thesis in Biology on the influence of mowing and landscape changes on pollinator density and flowerscapes. Julie is a Bay Area native and in her spare time I love going on mushroom walks and practicing nature photography. |
Kaitlyn Harry (Texas Tech University)
Project: Predation risk and dusk chorusing behavior in the Veery
Kaitlyn is a senior Biology major at Texas Tech University. For a year and a half she has assisted Andrea Reinhardt's (MS Student) research quantifying the Veery dusk chorus when Veeries are exposed to indirect cues of predator presence using the Cornell software program Raven 1.4. On the frequent sunny days in the lone star state, Kaitlyn enjoys spending time near lakes kayaking, swimming, and being immersed in nature.

Wieteke Holthuijzen (Team Veery 2013; currently on Midway Atoll)
Project: Stranger Danger: Interspecific Vocal Responses of Selected Diurnal Passerines to Indirect Predator Alarm Calls
Wieteke spent a year on Team Verey before graduating from the University of Idaho where she completed her senior thesis on work she assisted on the avian dusk chorus. Currently she is a wildlife biology volunteer on Midway Atoll - home to 40 humans and upwards of 2 million seabirds, including most of the planet's Laysan albatross. Check out her Blog: Wing it.
