Checked some @BrowningCams at the @CWRUFarm today that have been up for much of November. This camera focused on a tree stump about 6 feet (~1.8 m) high. Lots of creatures using the stump. I'll start with a funny one - watch the slow-motion of squirrel jumping at camera. #CWRU
We have a winter storm watch issued for northeast Ohio, so here is a 2-minute video to bring warm thoughts: A baby painted turtle basking in the sun on a log June 2017 at the @CWRUFarm. (& I wonder why it raises hind legs - warm up faster? tutle yoga?)
Recently Dr. Jean Burns and her BIOL 351 students collected data at our American beech primary forest. The information that they collected is part of a long term study to quantify survival and growth of over 1,000 trees!
Beech Blight Aphids (Grylloprociphilus imbricator) in a few short video clips for #InverteFest. The wavy dance, in which the aphids wiggle their abdomens with waxy white filaments protruding, can deter predators. Seen at the @CWRUFarm in October 2017. #CWRU
Dr. Jennifer Murphy, of John Carrol University, visited us with her Plant Ecology class to herbaceous plant community composition.
Dr. Murphy got her PhD last spring from CWRU Dept of Biology. She worked on plant competition with Dr. Jean Burns. Welcome back to the Farm Jennifer!
