LETTER: Grassy areas of UNM north golf course should be reopened for community access

Jenna McCullough and Karla Young | January 10

For more than 40 years, the University of New Mexico’s north golf course has had another life unrelated to golf. When the sun begins to set, dozens to upwards of a hundred students, faculty and surrounding neighbors converge on the green space to walk their dogs off-leash in the few minutes prior to sunset. Unsurprisingly, this green space has been a treasured oasis in the center of the city. After the flags come down, Burqueños from all over the city and all walks of life access this space to walk, run, play with their children and dogs, and sometimes to just enjoy themselves on the grass while watching the sunset.

A Great Tit claims its mammalian victim.

Predatory Songbirds: the case of the murderous tits

This is part of our project to help connect the Daily Lobo audience to more members of our community. When you think of a songbird, like a finch or a sparrow, what kind of food does it eat? For many people, the first thing that comes to mind is bird seed — it fills feeders and the shelves of our local bird-watching stores. But songbirds are more diverse than finches at your neighborhood feeder and they eat more than just idyllic bird seed.

Guest Column: BioBlog — From the Balsas Valley to your dinner plate

Amelia Villaseñor , Nick Freymueller , Zach Fry , Brittany Zengerly and Jenna McCullough | December 3

Editor's Note: This piece was originally published online in the UNM BioBlog on Nov. 23, 2017, written by the students of the Biology Department’s BioBlog class. This is part of our project to help connect the Daily Lobo audience to more members of our community. When you look down on your Thanksgiving dinner plate, do you see a distortion of evolution? If not, you should. What we consider to be corn today is more robust than what was eaten by early settlers, and is unrecognizable compared to its ancestor, teosinte. A recent UNM BioBlog discusses how and why teosinte, a wild grass that produces a small, 2-inch “cob,” evolved into modern corn.
