In the Mojave Desert, woodrats commonly nest beneath buckhorn cholla. Students measured cholla with and without woodrat nests beneath them to determine whether the presence of the rodents affected cholla size. These and all other final projects of the Spring 2022 California Ecology and Conservation Program were conducted at the UC Nature’s Sweeney Granite Mountains Desert Research Center.
