Abstract:

Related to an earlier study co-published by Gerwin, the author's current study involved private lands used for wildlife conservation efforts. This study measured the success of endangered bird population preservation in statistics such as fledgling young return rate. Preparing lands like the Lassiter Mills tract for habitation included activities such as attaching GPS data recorders to birds like the pictured field sparrow.

Abstract:

Invasives are introduced, non-indigenous, or non-native species of plants and animals that get into local environments. Douglass explores how they arrive in the state, what effects they have on the state's ecosystem, names of some of the state's invasives, and what can be done about them.
