Students Cody Chretien and David Perkins, along with Professor Noah Perlut, present papers at natural history conference
Two 成人直播 students and one faculty member presented papers at the Northeast Natural History Conference. Environmental science students Cody Chretien ('12) and David Perkins ('12), along with Noah Perlut, Ph.D., assistant professor of environmental studies, presented papers based on original research.
Perkins and Perlut presented their work on the ecological effects of habitat edges on grassland birds' reproductive success. Their work, which initiated as a GIS internship, is currently in review at a notable ornithological journal.
Chretien and Perlut presented their study on grey squirrel movement ecology, home range analysis, and survival. This project, initiated through the Conservation and Preservation Lab course, is based on data collected by a large 成人直播 student research crew that uses radio telemetry to track squirrel movements across campus.
