2015 African Graduate Student Research Fund Award - Arthur Muneza

The recipient of one of two awards from the American Society of Mammalogists’ African Graduate Student Research Fund is Arthur Muneza. Arthur is a Master’s student at Michigan State University and is a Rwandan citizen. He is examining the prevalence and severity of Giraffe skin disease in Ruaha National Park, Tanzania. This disease afflicts limbs of individuals and may make them more vulnerable to lion predation, which Arthur hopes to quantify through his work.
