Tom Knoedler, Lab Coordinator and Storeroom Manager Dept. of Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology for The Ohio State University at Lima, will be conducting an extensive research project for the Biology Department.

Where did you recieve your education? I got my BS from Michigan State in 1989 and in 1993 I recieved my MS from BGSU. Both degrees are in Biology. I specialize in small mammel work. What do you consider a small mammel? The size of a squarel or smaller. I actually don't even work with the squarrel very often. I work mainly with mice, shrews, and similar small mammels. How did you get interested in this field? It goes back to my high school biology teacher. He showed me that you can appreciate nature and study it at the same time. He showed me that you could systematically study natural areas and that is what a biologist does. He would take us out to a field that we had seen every day, yet had not really looked at, and gave us the opportunity to really see what is out there. I try to get my students to look at the natural areas we have around us on this campus. What advise would you give to a student interested in Biology? Don't let your fear of a class postpone or stop you from taking that class. Don't let a class get in the way of what you want to do. Anyone interested in biology needs to get experience in research or any experience at all in the field they plan on entering. They need to have contact with the plants or animals they are interested in. The second most important thing they can do is to make contacts. That is how I got my job with the Defence Department. They had an antennae in the upper part of Michi­ gan that sent signals through the ground. They wanted me to determine the effect the signals would have on the wildlife in the area. What does your work on campus entail? My main focus is on population dynamics, where they live, how they survive, basically their rela­ tionship between them and their environment. I watch the population in much the same way as a human cencus would. That is the first step, getting a census on the number of animals in this area. I want to find how the animals around here live. They will be tagged with an ear tag. I do not believe in harming or killing animals. They will not be harmed in any way. What would be the role of the Biology students? They will be doing all the trapping during the census and observation phases. They will be able to handle the animals and observe them in their natural habitat. Also, some of the students will be doing independent research projects with this. They could find how different species interact with each other and the consequences of this interaction. Some of the species that will be studied include: Perotnyscus leucopus (white footed tnouse) P. tnaniculatus (deer tnouse) Microus pennsulvanicus (tneadow vole) Blarins brevicauda (short tailed shrew) Sorex cinereus ( tnasked shrew) T atnias striatus eastern chi rimnk FILM SERIES ~ D ~ INHERIT THE WIND Good news!
