Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory

12 Jun, 03 PM - 30 Jul, 01 PM

I will look through voucher specimens of benthic macroinvertebrates that are housed at the Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Lab (SNARL) that were collected from surveys done in Sequoia, Kings Canyon, and Yosemite National Parks, and the John Muir Wilderness. Specimens will be carefully measured, examined for morphologic differences, and their instar will be determined. Specimens that I collect from streams and lakes in the Lakes Basin and central Sierra Nevada will be measured, weighed, examined for various morphologic differences, have their diet analyzed, and their DNA genetically sequenced. This information will be collected to allow for a landscape comparison between the central Sierra Nevada and northern Sierra Nevada mountain range, CA. I will also survey the area around SNARL for possibility of additional sampling localities to add to this comparison.
