Who Pecked That? - By: Milda Kristupaitis - Mentor: Wendy Leuenberger
Background:
Exploring cascading effects of nutrient fertilization in regards to predation rates on caterpillars via invertebrates, small mammals, and
birds
Hypothesis: a difference or potential increase in predation rates within fertilized plots
Methods:
Make and deploy caterpillars
Collect and examine
Statistical analysis
Alternatives:
Statistical analysis could help
decipher if variance in
predation rate is a response to
fertilization or forest age
