An Environmental Studies and Sustainability major at the University of Maine at Presque Isle recently won a “best poster” award at the 2012 Northeast Undergraduate Research Development Symposium in Biddeford. Scott Belair’s poster was one of just 10 among more than 100 posters to receive the recognition.
Belair’s poster was titled The Effects of Forest Type on Arthropod Abundance and Food Use by Birds. It was based on research by Jason Johnston, UMPI Assistant Professor of Wildlife Ecology, that Belair and two other students, Dan Sheffield and Dylan Plissey, helped to conduct.
