Population Ecology of Red-Backed Salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest
The Red-Backed Salamander (Plethodon cinereus) is a terrestrial species with a wide range across the northeastern United States and southern Canada. These salamanders can be very abundant within damp leaf litter and under rocks and logs. We have been studying this species at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in North Woodstock NH since Fall 2017 by recording data on salamanders from six 5 m x 10 m plots in the forest. Each fall and spring, we survey the salamanders at each plot on multiple dates. On each date, we measure the snout-vent length (SVL) and total length of each salamander found, and classify each as a male, female, or juvenile based on its SVL and physical characteristics. We also mark each with a unique color pattern that enables us to recognize individuals and use a mark-recapture method to estimate population size. The Red-Backed Salamander is an important indicator species of the condition of its habitat because of its sensitivity to environmental changes

The Climb Above Addiction cluster project addresses the need for awareness, support, and education for those affected by addiction. The event component of the project, similar to the Relay for Life but with climbing rather than walking a track, raised money to support a scholarship for the Plymouth House recovery program.

Cluster Learning: The PSU Approach to Education
In this session, the Open Learning & Teaching Collaborative will present the core philosophies that underpin the emerging concept of cluster pedagogy. Participants in the Cluster Pedagogy Learning Community (CPLC) will share some of what they have been exploring through the CPLC curriculum, which focuses on interdisciplinarity, project-based learning, and open education. We will talk together about how to align our own teaching practices with the larger mission and values of the university, and consider how to keep learners at the center of our institutional innovation. This might be a particularly helpful session for faculty and staff who are considering applying to the CPLC for next year
