As part of this recognition, Dr. Reginaldo will deliver a professorial lecture titled “Dynamics in the Coexistence of Native and Non-native Small Mammals in a Disturbed Landscape.” The lecture draws on years of research in the Baguio-La Trinidad area, where pine forests, remnant montane forest patches, and agricultural lands exist side by side with growing human settlements. His fieldwork has documented endemic small mammals in these disturbed habitats, bringing the number of known endemic species in the area to five.

The lecture will explore how native and non-native small mammals coexist, and why fine-scale habitat features may better explain where these animals live than broad habitat types alone. It will also highlight how even small remnant forest patches serve as refuges for native wildlife and may help native species recover and expand, making a case for their protection and care.

Details of the lecture will be announced at a later date. Stay tuned!
