This month the PFN will continue its annual tradition of hosting Trent University students who were recipients of the PFN’s Legacy Grant. They will be providing presentations on their research projects at this meeting. This year there are four students presenting. Alexander Robertson will be presenting his research on the Northern Dog-Day cicada. Beck Bugeya’s project is on the endangered Small- mouthed Salamander and the effect of the invasive White River Crayfish on Pelee Island. Jade Gorman’s research involves the investigation of local stormwater management ponds to determine if they are biodiversity hotspots for freshwater benthic macroinvertebrates (benthos). Mia Bohbot’s research project will determine the extent to which nocturnal mammals in urban areas are selecting processed food over natural foods.
