Student Research Papers

Students were required to write a paper about their research subjects. They had to include an autecology (ecology of single species) of a vertebrate species or species group. Items included in the research were home range size, microhabitat selection, thermal environments, dietary habits, and body size.

Upon returning to campus, the students had to present their research to the rest of the class in a PowerPoint presentation. In these presentations, the students had to present their research papers which included the materials and methods they used, as well as results found.
