Sorry for not responding...I haven't been on in a while.
Not much to update at the moment. The students had 90 collars out at the end of the summer season. they worked extremely hard to get all the collars out. Now...we wait. We will be documenting mortalities, as well as collecting the movement data from the collars at the end of the season. It will still be a while after that to compile, analyze, interpret, and prepare reports.
So, I'm sorry to say, everyone is going to have to be extremely patient.
