Farewell, Yesenia!
Yesenia Valverde has completed an internship with IAN and will soon be starting as a field technician for the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) station in Hilo, Hawaii next month. She’ll be collecting plant, bird, beetle, mosquito, and soil data to contribute to the project’s ongoing study of biological responses to climate change, land use change, and invasive species.

Ecosystem transformation
Bill Dennison and Yesenia Valverde facilitated a workshop on ecosystem transformation for the American Fisheries Society and The Wildlife Society in Seattle. The workshop produced a newsletter and submitted papers for their respective society journals in preparation for their first ever joint conference in Reno, Nevada later this year
