Hastings Research in Smithsonian Magazine

Although they never mention the field station, a writer for the Smithsonian magazine produced a nice article in the current issue on research done at Hastings. Matina Kalcounis-Ruppell worked her for several years, and found that the deer mice sing at night. The songs are in the ultrasound- at frequencies higher than we can hear. Anyway; there is a link to the article. If only NSF or someone would fund Matina she would return and explore other questions. But in the meantime, Matina is working with the mice in the eastern deciduous forest (noisy compared to here) who also sing, but not nearly as robustly!
