Ecotone Wildlife Captured!

The transition zone, or ecotone, between salt marshes and uplands is used heavily by wildlife. To characterize animal use of the marsh-upland ecotone, relative to adjacent habitat types, researchers have been deploying camera “traps”, to capture images of animals triggered by motion sensors.

See more great photos and the details of their findings.
