Event Information: 
Jeffrey's master's research focused on the coexistence between the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) and the six-banded armadillo (Euphractus sexcinctus) in the southern Pantanal of Brazil. His research combined substrate/habitat sampling with remote camera trapping in an effort to understand how these two similar species were partitioning their niche.
