Cheeseman Lab @CheesemanLab

Ears Up!🐰Briana, grad student in Dr. Cheeseman’s lab, is studying the ecological importance of small mammals in habitat types & diversity of those communities on a reclaimed bombing range in the Badlands. Celebrate rabbit research on #OneDayforSTATE @ givecampus.com/q30f0j

Hannah Mulligan is a Ph.D. Student w/Dr. Alison Coulter, her research focuses on population dynamics & human-mediated spread of aquatic invasive species. This #OneDayforSTATE your gifts 🐟swim🐟 the extra mile! NRM appreciates your support at: givecampus.com/q30f0j.

⏰Time to meet undergrad Carter, who worked w/Dr. Dave Coulter's lab to study aquatic macroinvertebrates this summer! On #OneDayforSTATE, your donations help NRM send students like him to professional conferences. Gifts of any size have a BIG impact! givecampus.com/q30f0j

☀️Not all research is fun in the sun!☀️ Master's student Brenden Elwer is pictured in the lab, he's working on using habitat suitability to assess the risk of invasion by carp in eastern North & South Dakota. Brenden is advised by Dr. David Coulter! #OneDayforSTATE

All these critters too much excitement this early in the morning? Let's highlight the Native Plant Initiative! Dr. Lora Perkins leads great collaborators & a team of grad + undergrad students working to understand & share info! Peep the summer fieldwork photos! #OneDayforSTATE

Research isn't only for grad students! Sarah here w/a Channel Catfish in WY, helping w/some PhD work! She's an undergrad & active in NRM clubs-help build our community of support for research & involvement by selecting NRM department @ givecampus.com/q30f0j on #OneDayforSTATE!

🥳It's O-fish-ally #OneDayforSTATE!! 🥳Pictured is PhD student Logan Zebro, who works w/ Dr. Alison Coulter using acoustic telemetry data to inform management of invasive & sportfish species in flowing water systems. To support NRM & SDState today, visit: givecampus.com/q30f0j.

NRM may have been quiet online this summer, but students & faculty have been busy! #OneDayforSTATE is a great time to catch up with everyone, stay tuned to hear about what we've been up to! Your gifts, small or large, or in between, make an impact in NRM. givenow.sdstatefoundation.org/one-day-for-st…

New Paper Alert🚨 Ever wonder what wildlife populations looked like to our grandparents? We tracked how a century of land use and climate change impacted the distribution of weasel habitats @RolandKays @DavidJachowski Here's what we found: #LandscEcol bit.ly/3QCiOp4

So proud to have lab member and MS student Emily Macklin recognized as the 2023 recipient of the Kenneth H. Hussman Memorial Scholarship in recognition of her work on avian species !!🐦‍⬛ Awarded by the South Dakota Ornithologists Union

In the 1990s, river otters in South Dakota were nearly extinct. After reintroduction efforts, the population slowly grew. Now, two #SDState researchers are attempting to learn more about the state's river otter population and habitat needs. bit.ly/3PNeTWM

The river otter was taken off SD's threatened species list in 2020, but @AECheeseman's lab is using AI tools to better understand their distribution, habitat needs, & more. Info on her research is in this recent SDState News article: sdstate.edu/news/2023/05/r…
