Professor Rafe Brown is co-author of a recent investigation published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which reveals statistical support for a “species pump” in the Philippines during the ice age. Lead author Jamie Oaks of Auburn University and co-author Cameron Siler of the University of Oklahoma were both KU graduate students advised by Brown. They were joined by co-author Perry Wood Jr., now at the University of Michigan, who recently worked at Auburn with Oaks and, earlier at KU with Brown, as a postdoctoral researcher.
