Assistant Professor of Biology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eric LeFlore, Assistant Professor of Biology, has received funding from the University of Maine<\/a>‘s National Science Foundation EPSCoR eRISE II<\/a> program to support his project comparing surveying techniques for Maine bobcats. The funding will support the purchase of additional wildlife cameras, a need identified by preliminary studies<\/a>, and strengthen collaborations with colleagues at the University of Maine Orono and the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, while setting the stage for a long-overdue assessment of bobcat distributions in Maine. In addition, the grant will support three undergraduate students, providing an opportunity for paid scientific training in a field-based wildlife ecology and conservation biology research program. Congratulations, Eric!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
