In my free time, I love to SCUBA dive, attend concerts, snowboard, and run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Current Research:<\/strong> I am currently researching the Yellow Lampmussel, a species of greatest conservation need in the Northeast region. Yellow Lampmussel&#8217;s range-wide status has not been accurately assessed and there are discrepancies in the literature regarding suitable habitat for the species. I will be modeling their distribution using a Joint Species Distribution approach and collecting habitat data via side-scan sonar surveys. This research will inform region-wide conservation and restoration efforts for the Yellow Lampmussel species.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jill Fedarick, Ph.D., Ecology and Environmental Sciences Co-Advisor: Christina Murphy \u2013 Maine Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research UnitCo-Advisor: Sydne Record \u2013 Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Conservation BiologyStart Date: Summer 2023M.S. 2022, Marine Biology, Northeastern University, Boston, MAB.S. 2022, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Northeastern University, Boston, MAjillian.fedarick@maine.edu, 207.581.2954 Brief Biography: I&#8217;m from New Jersey and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":996,"featured_media":0,"parent":50,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/page-withsidebar.php","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-10735","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
