Hastings Natural History Reservation

08 Jun, 01 PM - 10 Jun, 10 AM

I am resurveying sites that were comprehensively surveyed in the past for Odonata species composition in Central California. These include sites that were surveyed by Clarence H. Kennedy in 1914, and two of the oldest UC reserves, Hastings and Sagehen. I will then relate any changes in species richness, composition, and traits composition to metrics of land use and climate change. The goal of my Odonata survey at Hastings is to compare Odonata species composition and biodiversity to that in the late 1940's and 1950's. For the field survey, I will capture adult Odonata specimens using a aerial insect collecting net. I will keep 1-3 voucher specimens of each species that I find, and eventually deposit prepared specimens at the Essig Museum of Entomology.
