Population Study Of Native And Invasive Turtles In Harrisonburg, Virginia, David R. Weisenbeck

Senior Honors Projects, 2020-current

The Red-eared Slider, Trachemys scripta is an invasive species responsible for declines in turtle species across the world. Trachemys scripta is native to two parts of southern Virginia but the species has been introduced throughout the rest of the state, often related to the release of pet trade animals. This study aimed to identify the extent of Trachemys scripta’s establishment and impact on native species in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Turtles were trapped in a mark-recapture study during the springs and summers of 2018, 2019, and 2020 in four local ponds in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Cormack-Jolly-Seber population models were constructed using data …

Terrestrial Soldier Crab (Coenobita Clypeatus, Fabricius 1787) And Cerion Spp. (Röding 1798) Shell Relationship On San Salvador Island, Bahamas, Harley Hunt

Biology Theses

The Caribbean terrestrial soldier crab, Coenobita clypeatus(Fabricius 1787), coexist and utilize the shells of numerous species of land and marine gastropods. Soldier crabs rely on gastropod shells for protection as the crabs have a soft abdomen, leaving them vulnerable for predation and desiccation, threatening their survival. This creates a strong pressure to obtain well-fitting shells that provide adequate protection against water loss. Cerion of Röding (1798) shells are one of the most commonly used shells among living colonies of C. clypeatuson San Salvador Island. This study is interested in the frequency of shell use by C. clypeatus crabs …

Outline - Coyote Ecology & Resiliency, Center For Urban Resilience

Module 12: Urban Wildlife

The purpose of this lesson is to facilitate student acquisition of background knowledge on topics related to coyote ecology, including geographic distribution, physiology, sociobiology, genetic variation and evolution, among others. Threaded throughout the lessons will be an exploration and discussion of human-impact on coyote geographic distribution, home ranges, physiology, diet, behavior, adaptations, and resiliency. Special focus will be spent on identifying notable behavioral changes that have occurred in urban coyotes over the past century. Students will research and present their findings via a Project Based Learning (PBL) poster.

Lesson Plan - Assessing The Garden Site And Initial Biodiversity Inventory, Center For Urban Resilience

Module 10: Garden Ecology

The purpose of this lesson is to outline how to conduct a site assessment and biodiversity inventory before planting a garden. It is important to assess what is already at the planting site, especially the existing plants, soil composition, amount of sun and shade exposure, the available space, and the water resources available. These elements are limiting factors that will determine the outcome of the garden. Also vital is a biodiversity inventory of the organisms at the site and those that visit the site by soil, land, and air.

As part of the site assessment, students will create a two-dimension …
