Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
Urban development forces city and town boundaries to encroach further into wildland habitats and natural landscapes all over the world, causing immense habitat loss and fragmentation. Human-wildlife conflict with mesocarnivores (skunks, foxes, raccoons, etc.) increases as rising rural population densities push more small mammals into anthropogenic areas. This senior thesis study uses trail cameras to assess habitat and resource use vs. availability along the wildland-urban interface among nocturnal small mammals to determine presence of selection.
