It's just amazing that, you know, you could capture that much information and it's interesting
in the scientific perspective because what we are finding right now with issues like climate change and conservation is that we really need fine - grained samples from very large
geographic areas to really understand the dynamics of species range movements and how fragmentation is occurring and many biogeographic

Another project led by Umaña - Taylor is a longitudinal study of adolescents
in two different high schools
in two distinct
geographic areas — Michigan and Arizona — which poses the
