ABOUT OUR STUDY

Laura Aston, SUU student of Biology, is conducting research on the Ringtail Cat (Bassariscus astutus) for the purpose of gaining more knowledge of Ringtail population relatedness within Southern Utah's populations. All other studies published on the Ringtail Cat are of populations outside of Utah, therefore this research is somewhat stand-alone in nature. With the help of Dr. Nicki Frey and Dr. Laurie Mauger as mentors for the project, Laura Aston is nearing completion of this study with hopes of publication for her work
