In 2019, Dr. Wood collaborated with undergraduate students to document behavior and space use by grey squirrels and eastern chipmunks on campus. She also collected acorns from a diverse group of oak species. After initial processing at BU, the acorn samples were sent to a colleague at Latvia University for Life Sciences and Technologies for additional analysis.
