New project investigating thermal tolerance in stoneflies from glacial meltwater in the Grand Tetons

The magnificent Grand Tetons viewed from Yellowstone Lake

I am incredibly excited to join a team of wonderful scientists studying the thermal tolerance of vulnerable, endemic stoneflies only found in glacial meltwater high up in the Grand Teton of Wyoming. The lead PI is Scott Hotaling, who is trying to establish these delicate glacial ecosystems as long-term ecological monitoring sites so that they can be monitored and protected.
