 | | George Bubenik, Zoology, is collaborating with Eugenia Reyes of the University of Conception in Chile to study the physiology and reproduction of the pudu, a small animal important to the country's forest ecosystem. |
 | | And as the pudus make their way through these tunnels, their tough skin snags a variety of berries, providing food for themselves and other animals, while dispersing seeds throughout the forest. |
 | | In the male pudu, they have looked at the function of the thyroid gland, which regulates nutrition and metabolism, and the adrenal gland, which is involved in stress response. |
