Senior Thesis (Shawna (2004), Christi (2005), 3 in )

Undergraduate research (Spiro Savov, 2001)

Research: 1. Biodiversity and Conservation 2. Scientific Communication

1. Biodiversity and Conservation – effects of alien, invasive species on arthropods – arthropod species richnesses and diversity in local national parks – arthropod information for researchers and the public (3 online databases)

Why Arthropods (in a nutshell) ? (“The little things that run the world,” E. O. Wilson) Healthy Arthropods  Healthy Earth  Healthy Humans!

Alien, invasive species (such as Porcelainberry) affect arthropods and other biota (Dyke Marsh Wildlife Preserve, Virginia, 2001).

Arthropod species richnesses and diversity may vary greatly among local national parks. WDC Rock Creek Park Catoctin Mountain Park Monocacy National Battlefield Antietam National Battlefield Chesapeake & Ohio Canal NHP George Washington Memorial Parkway Prince William Forest Park Harper’s Ferry National Park National Capital Parks – Central and East Manassas National Battlefield Wolf Trap National Park Appalachian Trail, local segment North
