Below are links to some amazing documentaries on different animal phylums and the Ecosystem Services they provide us humans.  These videos were created by Millersville Biology Students for an Honor’s Zoology Seminar course here at Millersville University.  These videos are for educational use only, but they still rock.

( I especially love the end of the Porifera Phylum video; time 7:10)

On Saturday, December 13th, Biology Students from Millersville University were able to help the New Jersey Division of  Fish and Wildlife with their bear check stations.  Students helped wildlife biologists take tooth samples, weight measurements and identification information from harvested black bears.  Students also learned the basis, justification and science behind sustainable harvest practices for wildlife management.  In addition, students were exposed to the Human Dimensions of wildlife biology via protest demonstrations established to end bear hunts in New Jersey.  We thank the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife and their great staff for providing us these great educational opportunities.
