Jen Guyton, a student of Robert Pringle is featured in new video series
Since 2013, Guyton has been one of several graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the group of Princeton University’s Robert Pringle, an assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, who make Gorongosa the focus of their research.
Now, the work of Guyton, two other Princeton graduate students and a postdoctoral researcher is featured in a video series released by the North Carolina-based E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation. The series is intended to highlight research being conducted at the E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Laboratory, a modern laboratory and field station the national park established in March 2014 so that researchers and students from Mozambique and other nations can study and work to preserve biodiversity.
“Parks like Gorongosa offer scientists a way to observe nature in an unpaved state”
— Jen Guyton, Quoted in Princeton University News
“Parks like Gorongosa offer scientists a way to observe nature in an unpaved state,” Guyton continued. “Parks preserve the ecological interactions that make life on Earth tick. Gorongosa in particular offers an interesting opportunity to see what happens when humans manipulate those ecological interactions, and we’re now trying to figure out how nature compensates for that kind of thing.”
