Out in @AnimalEcology, we investigate the influence of masting on timing of reproduction in small mammals using a 12-year dataset. Seed availability alters probability of reproduction for both sexes and can change timing of reproduction by over 2 months!

@SnehanjanaC Yes, these are filtered samples that I then viewed under a compound microscope. I think most of these images are at 400X total magnification.
