By evaluating a combination of morphological and molecular characters, she hopes to determine the systematic position and colonization history of the population on Nantucket Island (<em>Peromyscus leucopus fusus</em>) relative to other populations on the islands off the southern New England coast. <a href="/live/news/11-taylor-blevins-19-researches-systematics-and" class="link-with-arrow gold" title="Taylor Blevins ‘19, Researches Systematics and Taxonomic Status of the Nantucket Island Mouse" aria-label="Taylor Blevins ‘19, Researches Systematics and Taxonomic Status of the Nantucket Island Mouse">Keep reading</a></div></div>
