| dc.description.abstract | In my thesis, I provide a photojournalistic account of my experiences working on a research project. The project is working to better understand genetic resistance to the plague (Yersinia pestis) in Black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus). Throughout the summer, I used my photography skills to photograph the various species that rely on the prairie dogs and document aspects of our research. I showcase these photos in my thesis, while providing research based context to prairie dog ecology and our research. I also analyzed prairie dog growth rates in juveniles between sexes, and found no significant differences between males and females. | |
