This year 14 seniors across the Claremont Colleges did research for their senior theses at the BFS. On April 25, the BFS held a senior thesis research symposium where seniors presented their thesis research in posters and oral presentations so all these students would have an opportunity to find out about all the other senior thesis projects. Here are a few photos from the event:
Jack Halsey presents his poster on the effects of fire on seed germination.
Ellie Harris talks about fire effects.
Jack Litle talks about the effects of herbivory.
Savanah Bird discusses how the 210 freeway affects genetic diversity in coyotes.
Savannah Meadors talks about processes that determine the survival and distribution of White Sage (Salvia apiana).
Kay Garlick-Ott takes questions on her presentation of how temperature impacts mating behaviors in the freshwater snail Physa acuta.
