A study on effects of mountain lion predation on wild pigs
No full textAccording to a previous study, wild pigs were responsible for over a billion dollars in damage to property and farmland. With high reproduction rates, wild pigs will continue to grow rampantly if no predator is able to control the population. Unfortunately, the mountain lion, an important predator for the wild pig, has been trophy hunted despite laws being in place against it. Because of how often they are hunted and their low reproduction rates, mountain lions have had their population growth stunted and cannot maintain the wild pig population. It is important to educate farmers and hunters of this to ensure that the wild pig population does not continue to get out of hand. With less hunting of mountain lions, the population can recover, and wild pigs will return to a sustainable level, decreasing the amount of property damage done. This research illustrates the mathematical modeling of both species and study various factors that impact the population

Working toward an equity-based model for volunteering and service-learning projects in higher education
No full textVolunteering and service-learning projects (VSLPs) in higher education have gained much praise for the educational benefits they provide students. Less attention has focused on the challenges that may accompany these types of projects, particularly for students and faculty from underrepresented communities. Analyzing previous scholarship and current case studies from both a student and professor who have first-hand experience with VSLPs at a minority-serving institution, this chapter critically examines the educational and professional challenges VSLPs may present for both students and faculty in higher education. Evidence from the case studies suggest that VSLPs may demand unrealistic, unattainable, or problematic expectations from students and faculty. The case studies also suggest that students and faculty from marginalized communities and/or precarious positions are most negatively impacted. Developing a better understanding of how and why these challenges exist may help shift our practices toward an equity-based model of VSLPs in higher education
