in the scientific literature.
Allison spent five years studying the crystal skipper—and how it was
coping with development-driven habitat fragmentation—for her PhD at
North Carolina State University. It’s especially nice to publish this
blog because Allison received a DeWind Award from the Xerces Society
to support her studies. We give two DeWind Awards each year to support research into conservation of butterflies and moths.
