1999 Scrapbook: SLCC Project House with Habitat for Humanity
Title
1999 Scrapbook: SLCC Project House with Habitat for Humanity
Description
This Scrapbook documents the Salt Lake Community College and Salt Lake Valley Habitat for Humanity's "Blitz Build A Home in 50 Hours" project house. There are photographs of the entire process from framing in the house, to installing cabinetry, plumbing, electric, and everything required and up to appropriate specifications. This scrapbook is a duplicate of the one made for the new home owners. Included are multiple newspaper articles about the project, as well as the celebratory party held for the completion of the house and its new owners.

2022 - Investigating Habitat Preferences of Cebus imitator at La Selva Research Station - Poster Presentation
Title
2022 - Investigating Habitat Preferences of Cebus imitator at La Selva Research Station - Poster Presentation
Description
Rivers create natural variation within landscapes, leading to diverse habitat preferences among primate species. Understanding the habitat preferences of primates can be useful in assessing their overall ecological significance and informing future conservation efforts. The confluence of the Sarapiqui and Puerto Viejo Rivers forms a natural boundary at La Selva Research Station. This area is differentially occupied by primate species like Alouatta palliata (mantled howler monkey), Cebus imitator (white-faced capuchin), and Ateles geoffroyi (Geoffroy’s spider monkey). Previous studies on C. imitator have supported a strong preference for secondary forest habitats over riparian habitats due to their lower canopy, as well as the presence of human-planted invasive fruit trees. For this study, I will be investigating the habitat preferences of C. imitatorin relation to the Sarapiqui and Puerto Viejo Rivers, to see if the results are approximate to those of other studies done in northeastern Costa Rica. I hypothesize that there will be a negative correlation between spatial proximity to rivers and C. imitator population density, consistent with the results of prior studies. C. imitator is a monkey of Central and South America, endemic to Honduras through northwestern Ecuador. They are black and white in color, express moderate sexual dimorphism, and weigh from 15 to 40 kg, depending on sex. They are predominantly arboreal, forming multi-male/multi-female groups of up to 24, and have a highly varied omnivorous diet. To test my hypothesis, I will do a census on C. imitator by walking all the trails at La Selva Research Station at a pace of 1 km per hour. I will record the number of individuals and their location by trail name and nearst meter marker. The group’s proximity to rivers will be calculated using La Selva Research Station’s trail maps, and I will compare the number of sightings near and far from rivers with the results of other research sites.
