RESEARCH MATTERS:

Rafe Brown, assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, was recently awarded a National Science Foundation grant of more than $900,000 to comprehensively survey, review and summarize the biodiversity of terrestrial vertebrates and their parasites in the Philippines. Described as a "megadiverse country" and a "global conservation hotspot," the Philippines' biodiversity is largely uncategorized. Brown's project will survey vertebrate and parasite diversity at more than 50 sites throughout the country. For more, www.nsf.gov.
