• Using Photographs to Mark Poison Dart Frogs

  • Jan 2014 - Jan 2014

  I spent a month exploring an alternative and less-invasive method than toe-clipping for surveying poison dart frogs. I examined the efficacy of using color patterns (photographs) to identify O. pumilio in mark-recapture surveys.

  10-week internship where I was responsible for monitoring a long-term forest plot, by identifying and measuring DBH, height, and foliage cover of tree species. In addition to this, I assisted in the mapping of invasive plants, monitored an Emerald Ash Borer trap, and conducted water quality samples using chemical tests and macroinvertebrate surveys. 10-week internship where I was responsible for monitoring a long-term forest plot, by identifying and measuring DBH, height, and foliage cover of tree species.
