On February 2nd, Tuesday morning, Millersville Undergraduate Researcher Brooke Frye and the Millersville Mammalogy Class went out to check small rodent traps on the Millersville Biological Preserve.  They captured 3 white-footed mice.  Brooke is conducting an independent study on pre-baiting and capture success of small rodents.  The Mammalogy class is assisting with this research project.  Hopefully, with the assistance of the Mammalogy class, Brooke will be able to expand her trapping efforts to other study sites off campus.  As can be seen below, when captured, rodents are ear-tagged and marked with a dye for mark-recapture analysis.
