MONGOLIA: Summer 2023 Expedition
A crew of 17 Mongolian and American scientists, students (undergraduate and graduate students), and guides spent six weeks in Mongolia in June and July 2023. Remote parts of the countryside in northern and western Mongolia were surveyed for small terrestrial mammals and bats, screening each one for ecto- and endoparasites. Like previous years, this work spanned a major latitudinal (and climatic) gradient from boreal forest in the north, to Gobi Desert in the south.
