Destiny Saucedo,

Thesis:

Destiny is investigating survival rate and causes of mortality in island fox pups on San Clemente Island. Island foxes are vulnerable to extinction due to their restricted distribution and population sizes, therefore understanding population characteristics of this vulnerable species is critical for designing effective management to maintain stable populations. Through her research, Destiny hopes to collect data that could contribute to the management decisions needed to minimize and mitigate impacts to this species.

Jordan Stevens,

Thesis:

Jordan is surveying Humboldt marten prey species through a combination of live trapping and spot mapping, in order to assess their abundances prior to restoration in Redwood National and State Parks. He intends to explore potential correlation between prey abundances, mesocarnivore activity, and habitat characteristics such as understory vegetation and woody debris.
