This line of thinking led the Perlut Lab to make a deep inquiry into disease ecology, with a number of resulting <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/perlutlab\/publications\/\">publications<\/a>, including a field expedition to the Galapagos Islands to find and catch Bobolinks.  This project has blossomed and now includes  more genetic and migratory work with other collaborators, including Roz Renfrew and <a href=\"https:\/\/colsa.unh.edu\/person\/adrienne-kovach\">Adrienne Kovach<\/a>&#8230;. and a number of publications (see below)  I returned to Galapagos for the 2021 fall migration&#8230;found and caught 6 more Bobolinks (on a farm that I had not discovered in 2015) and am actively processing what I learned from these individuals.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Renfrew, R.B., N.G.
