Overall, first-time, full-time undergraduate enrollments decreased by 2.3 percent, from 41,246 in fall 2009 to 40,291 in fall 2010. This marks a change from last year’s opening fall enrollment reports which cited an increase in the number of new full- time undergraduates enrolled at Maryland campuses. The number of first-time, full-time students attending the State’s independent colleges and universities increased by 6.1 percent, while the number attending public four-year institutions (-3.0 percent), and community colleges (-5.7 percent) decreased substantially.

    Curriculum Vitae Peter L. Skylstad Professor of Biology Natural Resources and Wildlife Technology Program Garrett College 687 Mosser Road McHenry, MD 21541 USA 301-387-3332 (office) 301-616-6066 (cell) [email protected] http://academic.garrettcollege.edu/nrwt/ ACADEMIC BACKGROUND Peter is a graduate of Texas Tech University (TTU). He earned a B.S. in Physical Geography with a minor in biology in 1992 and a M.S. in Biology with a minor in geographic information systems in 1997. Peter’s research interests focused on the relationship between disturbance and productivity gradients and plant community structure in short-grass prairies and deserts of the western United States. Peter pursued further studies as part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Breeding Biology Research and Monitoring Database program (BBIRD). The BBIRD Project is a national cooperative program that uses standardized field methodologies for studies of nesting and breeding success and habitat requirements of interior forest songbirds. Peter was part of the research team that documented the effects of cowbird parasitism on several species of interior forest songbirds in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of northeastern New Mexico. Peter also worked with Site-Specific Technologies (SST) in conjunction with the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service as part of a cooperative effort to develop innovative applications for GPS and GIS technologies in precision agriculture.
