NEWS RELEASE

Tropical wildlife follow the same daily patterns worldwide
How do animals in the wild use their time? A researcher at Rice is part of a new study that shows what motivates the daily ramble of tropical populations. Rice bioscientist Lydia Beaudrot and Andrea Vallejo-Vargas, a graduate student at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences and currently a visiting scholar at Rice, found that communities of mammals across the wet tropics divide their days in similar ways, all generally geared toward finding their next meal.
