Abstract:

In the beginning of the article the author talks about how women fall through the cracks in the STEM field. They give the analogy of women falling through the leaks in a pipe in which they leave the field but they then state that they are not a path, pipe, or road but a complex system. They talk about gaining an interest in wildlife from visiting natural resource centers in Charlotte and growing up watching “ Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom.” The author states that their interests growing up included exploring, fishing, riding ponies, and fox hunting. The school subjects the author excelled in during school was biology, chemistry, physics and math. The author got their undergraduate degree in biology from UNC Chapel Hill and worked mostly in genetics and botany labs. The author talks about in 2018 that they got the position of assistant chief of the Wildlife Diversity Program in the Wildlife Management Division.

Abstract:

The author states that by monitor the nest boxes of barn owls they will be able learn more about their populations and how they are distributed. The author states that they also want to learn barn owl nesting time, clutch size, and nest success. The questions the Barn Owl Project is trying to answer is: what factors play a role in occupancy, what happens to juveniles when they leave the nest, what is the distance the adults travel to hunt, and what is the frequency of adults returning to the nest. The author discusses that these answers can be obtained through banding of the Barn Owls.

Abstract:

In this article the author is discussing the detail about the Barn Owl Project. The author is discussing the historical changes of where barn owls nest which was silos and barns which are becoming fewer. The author states that hunters have been helping out with creating new nesting areas for barn owls without even knowing through the installation of permanent deer hunting boxes. This is what started the Barn Owl Project in which started the creation of original nesting boxes. These nesting boxes would be installed on private properties but this lead to another question which was how could they tell if a barn owl population was present. The Barn Owl Project think had the idea that the nest boxes were too small for North Carolina barn owls which preferred larger nesting boxes. The Barn Owl Project also learned that just installing nesting box on a property does not mean that barn owls will use it unless there is already a barn owl population present.

Abstract:

In this article the author is talking about the less well known diamondback terrapins and the decline in their populations. The diamondback terrapin gets its name from the concentric ring pattern on its upper shell. The author discusses that the diamondback terrapin lives in brackish waters which is where fresh water flows into saltwater. Native American have traditionally hunted the diamondback terrapin for consumption. The author discusses that during this time the turtle was considered to be a cheap and reliable source of food up until the mid-1800’s where the wealthy considered turtle soup to be a delicacy. This has caused an increase of wild farming and the creation of commercial farming of the diamondback terrapin. One incident that has been seen to have saved the diamond back terrapin was The Great Depression because not even the wealthiest could not reasonably pay for “turtle soup.”

Abstract:

In this article the author is discussing how they, a fish biologist, got into the study of the Crystal skippers. The Crystal skipper is a rare kind of butterfly that inhabits the North Carolina coast. The author discussed that they got started on this research path when they took a walk on the beach with Dr. Leidner who just finished their doctoral research on the Crystal skipper. Dr. Leidner was moving to Washington D.C. and discussed with the author about them taking over the research project of the Crystal skippers.

Abstract:

In this article the author was discussing the changes that the commission had approved in regard to the amount of fish being captured per day. The author discussed that the commission had approve a rule that would limit the amount of fish that could be kept and that amount would be one to two and they also reduced the length of the season. The commission stated that the limit of fish being kept to one or two was to help manage the harvesting quota. The commission also stated that they are optimistic with the reductions in fishes kept will help with the spawning fish in both the Roanoke river and the Albemarle sound. History has shown that reductions like in the past helped to reduce the decline in the fish populations in these body of waters.

Abstract:

In this article the author is talking about citizen science or community science. The author states that citizen science is something that anyone can be a part of. Citizen science programs and projects can be started by a scientist but also by an average citizen. Any community members can gather data they are interested in studying. This can be seen in the biologists working for the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission wanting North Carolinians help with gathering data on native species. The reason for asking for help from community is because there are thousands of species in North Carolina that need data gathered on.

Abstract:

In this article the author is talking about the importance of being goal orients in citizen science projects. One example the author gives is about the N.C. Bird Atlas which wants to log all of the bird species in North Carolina over the next five years. Previously stated would be the long term goal and the short term goal would be to have volunteers in the community to observe birds during the winter to log their migration patterns. Another long term goal would be to correlate changes in bird migration patterns to climate change. Another example given by the author was the N.C. Alligators iNaturalist project. This program asks that volunteer community members to take picture of alligators and to upload them into the iNaturalist mobile app. The long term goal of this project is to learn about the natural distribution of alligators in North Carolina. The short term goal is to learn about North Carolina alligators behaviors in different areas of North Carolina.
