I have opened an online shop where I’m selling all kinds of products with designs I've made from my photography. If you haven't seen it on my Facebook or Instagram already, the link to my shop is curryosities.myspreadshop.com (or find it in the menu under Other Fun Stuff). This shop is dedicated to my dearly departed mutt, Paughey. He was the most adorably dopey good dog and looks pretty good on a t-shirt! My nephews wear their Paughey shirts proudly with Parker making sure those who comment on it know “he’s dead”. Kids say the darndest things! I'll be releasing new designs periodically and introducing them here! So keep checking back until you find something you like. Or, if there's something you're interested in, a specific product or animal, LET ME KNOW! I'll do my best to make it happen! I’ve already done several custom orders to rave reviews. While this was intended to be an artistic outlet, it’s also a side hustle of sorts, so I do get a portion of the profits from your purchase. Help a girl working for a non-profit, living with her parents out.

The Perspectives Series is a student-created, student-managed publication whose mission is to communicate conservation research being conducted by undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty in the field of applied biodiversity to a broader audience of academics, practitioners, and the public. The collection of articles in this year's Perspectives Series shares with you the insights and experiences of graduate students and faculty focused on conservation and biodiversity issues in Africa. Applied biodiversity brings multiple perspectives together—from ecology and psychology, to genetics and anthropology—to address the global challenge of reducing the loss of biodiversity and its impacts on human livelihoods. This year’s issue can be read and downloaded at:
The innovative part of this analysis was the addition of a comparison to other species who are recognized to have subspecies and show similar Sub-Saharan population distribution. The study identified 46 animals that show a distinction between West/Central African and East/Southern Africa populations. While some animals are recognized as being more than one species – known as a complex – such as Baboon (5), Rock hyrax (5) and Oryx (3), others are species separated into subspecies, such as Giraffe (9; below), Black (4) and White (2) Rhino, and Caracal (8). Only 13 of the 46 animals aren’t separated between West/Central and East/Southern, including the lion, according to CITES. The ESA classification is a little closer to demonstrating the Sub-Saharan distribution taxonomically by clumping the West/Central population with the Asiatic population. However, based on these results, lions may be able to be classified even more specifically. Hopefully my research will be able to shed a little more light on this. The help Laura is giving me to continue this investigation is immeasurable. In case you forgot, today is also National S'more Day and I just bought this.... from San Diego based online marshmallow shop Mallow Mallow.
The Challenge is 2-fold:
The project with the most BACKERS will receive an extra $1,000 added to their GOAL. Our GOAL is $5,000 and we must receive 100% of our GOAL to get any of the money donated by the BACKERS. PLEASE HELP! Go to Experiment.com/liondiversity and show some support by making a donation. Any little bit helps! The more people who make donations the better. You can also help by spreading the word. The Challenge (# of BACKERS) runs from today to Friday, June 10 @ 6PM ET The Campaign (100% of GOAL) runs from today to Saturday, June 18 Your support is much appreciated! THANKS!!!
