Francisco Molina (former MSc student, UW)
Biography
Francisco worked with Emiliano Donadio and Jake to understand state-dependent foraging by a large herbivore. He discovered that vicuñas were more apt to forage in risky areas (i.e., those with high puma activity) during periods of food limitation, thus providing evidence in support of McNamara and Houston's starvation-predation hypothesis.
