Wetland Engineers – Thursday Night Nature (April 8)

Bogs and swamps are magical places that hold a variety of secret interactions, shaping the way that native plants change over time. Explore the role that small mammals like voles and mice play in changing the habitat around them. Their feeding and dispersal tendencies can make the difference between an area growing into a forest or remaining an open grassland!

Presented by Alicia Shenko, Ph.D.

Alicia Shenko is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Animal Biotechnology & Conservation at Delaware Valley University. She received her Ph.D. in Ecology & Evolution at Rutgers University and her B.S./M.S. in Environmental Science at Drexel University. She is primarily interested in natural interactions and the role that small mammals play in maintaining biological functioning. Much of her research has taken place in the NJ Pinelands but she enjoys spending time anywhere in nature interacting with anything that scurries or slithers.
