Aaron Grade, Anna Handte-Reinecker, and Ben Dookram presented their research projects this past weekend at the Northeast Natural History Conference (NENHC) in Springfield.

A Grey Squirrel captured on one of Aaron’s camera traps, which he used to survey the mammals in residential yards.

Aaron gave a wonderful talk on the “Patterns of Mammal Diversity and Occupancy Across a Suburban Gradient.”

Anna presented a poster on her Honors thesis work entitled “Comparing the Trophic Overlap of Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) Nestlings in Continuous vs. Fragmented Forests Using Stable Isotopes.”

Ben also presented a poster of his independent research inspired by his field work with House Wrens entitled “Documenting a Poorly Understood Alarm Call in the Northern House Wren.”

Great work, everyone!
