In Dr. Sally B. Seraphin’s Lab of Evolutionary Neuroscience, we spent the Spring 2025 semester looking at her old field notebook from 1996 when she conducted research at Bird Island, MA. She had collected ecological data on the supernormal clutch nests of Roseate Terns on the island and wanted to explore why these nests were highly prevalent.

This is still a work in progress.
