I know Irene quite well; if you're really curious, contact her at
imp at biosci.arizona.edu... you might suggest that it would be fine to have
a graduate student bring you up to date if she's busy (I'm not sure, it
might be her field season right now... and her graduate students' for
that matter). I'll be seeing her at the national Animal Behavior Society
meetings in Lincoln NE in two weeks; I'll be sure to find out what she's
up to these days!

Cheers,
Jim
