| Description | Wildlife Research and Recovery - VCE is involved in research endeavors that extend from Vermont to South America. VCE led efforts to successfully recover three endangered bird species in Vermont: the common loon, the peregrine falcon, and the common tern. VCE pioneered research on Bobolink wintering ecology in South America and documented the effects of an agricultural pesticide widely used in Bolivia that is highly toxic to birds. This study galvanized collaborative efforts to move Bolivia towards less toxic alternatives. VCE examined vernal pool salamander emigration using miniature radio transmitters to help develop forestry guidelines around breeding pools. Additionally studies of two Alpine butterfly species in New Hampshire's Presidential Range added diversity and depth to VCE's Montane program. | Description |
