SELINSGROVE — Susquehanna University’s solar array powers 30% of the campus’ operational needs. Now students are trying to determine how the 12,000 panels might be supporting the microhabitats that have grown beneath and around them — specifically for spiders.
So far, Matt Persons, Charles B. Degenstein professor of biology at Susquehanna University, and two of his students — Andrew Pisano, an ecology major from Malvern, and Kaylee Rathbone, a biomedical sciences major from Mannington Township, New Jersey — have collected more than 1,000 spiders from the array. They do so in a very uniform way, Pisano said, during the day and at night.
