Hastings Natural History Reservation

08 Mar, 02 AM - 24 Mar, 01 PM

I am inquiring about the possibility of conducting some simple, short-term experiments at Hastings. Briefly, what I would like to do is put out 400-500 clay models of salamanders in oak woodland. The models will be painted 4 different morphs, and each will be placed on a 1' x 1' board. We want to quantify predation rates on different kinds of color patterns. This is part of a larger project investigating color pattern evolution in Ensatina eschscholtzii. The models will be left out about a week, and possible put back out again for another week, depending on the results.Also, while there, I'd like to scan the colors on a few Ensatina and Taricha with a spectrophotometer.
