Hands-on encounter with nature—With flashlights in hand, three brave students of Dr. Scot Duncan and Dr. Peter Van Zandt's Biology 101 class at Birmingham-Southern ventured into one of the caves at the local Ruffner Mountain Nature Preserve. Pictured above (from left to right) are Haley Ingrum, a freshman business major from Hoover; Joanna Carter, a sophomore dance major from Vestavia; and Alex Bothe, a freshman psychology major from Seguin, Texas. While inside the cave, they came across individuals of two species of salamanders: a slimy salamander (Plethodon glutinosus), and a cave salamander (Eurycea lucifuga). The class (shown in its entirety below) visited the preserve March 3 to study the geological aspects of the mountain as well as the ecosystems the area supports.
