TEAM WOODRAT AT DICKINSON

Cathy Bierly '97 with woodrat

This site contains several undergraduate research term papers done in my lab on aspects of the biology of the Allegheny woodrat, Neotoma magister.

Each report represents original research by the authors. Most projects were progressive increments toward an eventual research publication.

You are welcome to use the information here, but please respect the authors' proprietary rights to data and content of the reports, and remember that the reports have not been completely error-checked.
