Episode notes
Join your hosts Sammi Shimota and Giselle Ray, along with guest Frankie Garland as we discuss how climate change is altering the snowshoe hare's habitat from the paper "Camouflage mismatch in seasonal coat color due to decreased snow duration" by L. Scott Mills, Marketa Zimova, Jared Oyler, Steven Running, John T. Abatzoglou, and Paul M. Lukacs, Published in PNAS. We also discuss some findings from the paper "Geographic variations in winter adaptations of snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) by L.C. Giloitti, D.R. Diefenbach, and M.J. Sheriff. Special thanks to Dr. Marketa ZImova for answering some of our questions about molting!
