Field sampling in Texas

.My colleague, Dr. Amy Fowler (GMU), and I did some recent field sampling in Texas in inland, nearly freshwater lakes to look for a crab (Rhithropanopeus harrisii) that has invaded these reservoirs. After the heartache of not finding the crab in several locations, we finally found them! They will now be part of several ongoing ecological and evolutionary ecology experiments with collaborators (Dr. Fowler and Dr. Carolyn Tepolt, WHOI).
