Wow how as it been a year since my last post? What has happened in that time you ask? Well on a personal level we welcomed our second daughter to the family in August 2021, and now she's a spunky and fully mobile baby keeping us on our toes. In January 2022 Arlo Hinckley joined my research group and after some weeks excluded from the museum (thanks Omicron..) Arlo has made great progress on lab work on the giant squirrels he is studying. 

We have had several papers come out, including the major paper from Stella Yuan's master's degree at HSU. She is now on to bigger things as a PhD student at UCLA. Congrats again Stella! Below is a figure plotting the nuclear (in rectangles) and mitochondrial (pies) DNA from the Humboldt's flying squirrel across California We found the extricated San Jacinto population was unique, and more similar to the G. o. lascivus subspecies than the more geographically proximate G. o. californicus. Stay tuned for more updates from the Hawkins research group!
