On October 16-19, 2016, Millersville Biology students, Alex Sandercock and Kayli Thomas,  attended the 2016 Wildlife Society Meeting.  They both presented research posters on  quantifying threats to threatened and endangered species.  This was a joint research effort with fellow Biology student Delaney Costante and students from the College of William & Mary working with Dr. Mathias Leu.  Their research efforts made quite an impression, as they received the Best Undergraduate Poster Award at the meeting.  Funds for Millersville student travel were provided by the Hummelstown Shooting Association and Field and Stream Association as well as the Millersville University Noonan Grant.

Undergraduate Research Students Tyler Bridgehouse and Grace Nussbaum have been busy marking and monitoring small mammals since the beginning of the Fall 2016 semester.  They are comparing different brands of temporary animal hair dyes in comparison to permanent ear tags.  The use of these new dyes show promise for small mammal studies lasting many weeks, and these dyes have less of an impact on mammal health in comparison to ear tags.
