Using the milk samples Khudyakov collected with her team of undergrad and master&#8217;s students over the years, Keo has been able to analyze the proteins in each sample.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe know that the stress hormones in elephant seals are passed along from the mother to the pup.

I integrate undergraduate student researchers into all aspects of our work,\u201d said Khudyakov.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This research will create a broader understanding of elephant seals and their offspring\u2019s development. By examining the transfer of stress hormones, Khudyakov and her students hope to understand the long-term consequences of environmental stressors on both mothers and their young. The findings will help predict the impacts of climate change and other human activities on wildlife populations and inform the average person on conservation strategies that can deepen our knowledge of maternal health in mammals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At University of the Pacific, undergraduate biology students participate in research aimed at predicting how human activity and climate change affect wildlife.
