GRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES IN ENDANGERED INSECT ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION

I have two openings (one MS and one Ph.D.) for students interested in conducting research on the conservation and ecology of the Hine’s emerald dragonfly (Somatochlora hineana). The Hine’s emerald dragonfly is a federally-listed endangered species that occurs at a limited number of sites in the Mid-western United States. The species has a number of unique ecological and behavioral attributes, and its ecology is closely linked to both to groundwater and to the complex interactions it has with one of its predators (crayfish). Opportunities exist for research on either the adult or larval stages of the as part of ongoing funded research conducted primarily in the Chicago area and in Door County, Wisconsin. Support will be in the form of Research Assistantships. If you are interested in conducting research on this rare and unusual species, contact Daniel A. Soluk, Assoc. Prof., Dept. of Biology, The University of South Dakota, 414 E. Clark Street, Vermillion SD 57069. e-m! ail dsoluk@usd.edu.
