In this lesson, the resulting layout allows the user to compare the differences between the changes in vegetation and invasives over time. The maps on the left side of the layout display the vegetation groups found inside of the study area located within the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge. The maps on the right side of the layout, contain data of the same study area but show how invasive species community has changed. To show changes over time, the maps were digitized from 3 different decades 1962

I have never studied a tree before, but now I understand

woody vegetation, status (chewed vs. not-chewed), distance from the water, and circumference of trees near a beaver pond in North Carolina. Beavers avoided certain species of trees and preferred trees that were close to the water. No preference for tree circumference was noted. These data suggest that beaver food choice concurs with the optimal foraging theory. Introduction In this lab, we explore the theory of optimal foraging and the theory of central place foraging using beavers as the model
