This website is part of a school research project about the fisher, focusing on its habitat, behavior, and overall lifestyle. It examines how different biomes affect the survival and behavior of fishers, guided by the research question: How does the biome affect the survival and behavior of fishers? The project is based on the hypothesis that if fishers live in different biomes, then their survival and population rates will change because each biome has different food availability, predators, and environmental conditions. It also includes the prediction that fishers living in forest and wetland biomes will likely have higher survival rates and show different behaviors such as hiding in vegetation and feeding on plants and grasses compared to fishers in biomes with less plant life and shelter. In addition, the website explores the fisher’s significance in Western and Indigenous cultures and incorporates specific data and observations from Cedar Creek to provide real-world insight.
