Gerardo Carfagno, Visiting Professor of Biology, presented a poster titled "Linking snake behavior to nest predation in a Midwestern bird community" at the Ecological Society of America annual meeting held in Albuquerque, NM, August 2-7, 2009.  Co-authored with Patrick Weatherhead, Jinelle Sperry, Jeffrey Brawn, and Scott Robinson, the poster presented results from one of the first field studies to simultaneously monitor both snake behavior and the resulting impacts for nesting songbirds on which they feed.
