This presentation will teach you how terrestrial mammals respond to changing water levels and why we should conserve their critical habitat.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) engages in collaborative projects to monitor wildlife in its natural habitat. Katherine will discuss a recent research study that is funded by the U.S. Geological Survey in partnership with Florida Atlantic University using data collected from 2005 – 2019 via game cameras. The area of focus for her study is on improving the understanding of mammalian use of tree islands in the Everglades, specifically Bobcats. This presentation will provide insight into how terrestrial mammals respond to changing water levels and why we should conserve these critical habitat areas.
About the Speaker: Katherine Buckman received her BS in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation from the University of Florida in 2019. She is currently a graduate student at Florida Atlantic University studying bobcat spatial ecology in the Everglades, and her research interests are in invasive ecology, mammalogy, ecosystem restoration, and Everglades/wetland restoration.
