Worry about the Impacts of Climate Change Among Youths in Ecuador and the U.S
Under the direction of Dr. Renee Godard and Dr. Kaila Thorn Climate change remains one of the most urgent global challenges, with its impacts increasingly felt across diverse communities. Public perception, particularly among youth, plays a pivotal role in driving environmental policy and collective action. This study explores the levels of concern among young adults (ages 18–29) in the United States and Ecuador regarding the impact of climate change on personal and global issues. A Qualtrics survey in English and Spanish was distributed via social media platforms in both countries, yielding 33 U.S. and 35 Ecuadorian responses from this age group. Findings reveal high levels of concern in both nations, though Ecuadorian youths expressed significantly greater anxiety regarding the personal impacts of climate change. This heightened worry may be driven by direct experiences with extreme weather events and infrastructure challenges (e.g. droughts, forest fires, and power shortages) which have increasingly affected the Amazon. Both groups perceived climate change as a severe threat to future generations, global populations, and ecosystems, aligning with previous global studies that highlight a generational divide in climate concern
Lack of “Necromone” Avoidance in a Terrestrial Isopod (Porcellio laevis)
Under the direction of Dr. Renee Godard Many species of invertebrates recognize and avoid death cues released by conspecifics. It is suggested that linoleic acid may be a key component of these necromone cues. When killed, terrestrial isopods also release linoleic acid among other chemicals. In this study we explored whether or not Dairy cow isopods (Porcellio laevis) avoid commercially purchased linoleic acid. Avoidance behavior was measured by time spent in a Y-maze scented with commercially obtained linoleic acid and two other cues (water – neutral and canola oil – 21% linoleic acid). Isopods did not differ in the amount of time they spent near the commercially available linoleic acid when compared to water or canola oil. Other studies have used “necromone” cues directly from body fluids and it may be that isopods would have avoided a complex of cues rather than the linoleic acid alone
