Wild Life Intern AnMarie Ulery

November 7, 2018 by virginia.moerbe

This week I started small mammal surveys. For these surveys, I will be setting Sherman traps along my vegetation transect lines that I established earlier this year. As I walk along the 150-meter transect line, I will set 2 traps at each point (on either side of the line) in order to reduce the number of “trap happy” individuals captured.  When checking the traps, I will record species trapped (if any) and some morphological data including: foot length, ear length, and total length.  This weekI also continued to prepare for mesomammal trapping. I practiced my trap sets and set up “dummy sets” with scent lures and game cameras to see which species the scents attract and how they react to my fake trap set area. At the end of the week, as I was conducting my weekly raptor survey, I spotted these white pelicans that stopped in the Blacklands during their winter migration.  AnMarie Ulery-Wild Life Intern

Partnership Opportunities

Stiles Farm can run multiple projects at once thanks to the demonstration and research plot model. If you or your company would like to partner with Stiles Farm, we are looking for partnerships in long term conservation tillage and cover crop research, precision agriculture technologies, innovations in beef cattle production, the economics of small acreage horticulture production in the blacklands, and use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones) in agriculture production. For partnership ideas, contact Ryan Collett at (512) 898-2214 or rmcollett@ag.tamu.edu.
