May 2024 - Seeking Tadpole Shrimp Collaborators

UCANR is looking for fields where we can sample tadpole shrimp to test for pyrethroid resistance/susceptibility. We will be gathering soil/shrimp and then using these samples to run laboratory bioassays and measure susceptibility if we get enough shrimp.

What is needed are fields with a history of shrimp pressure. We just need to be pointed to fields that we can collect from and then get either map pin(s) to go to (or directions) or a ranch map that is marked with shrimpy locations or that is paired with specific fields to visit. Feel free to reach out to Sarah Marsh (530-203-8585) and contact Ian Grettenberger directly at imgrettenberger@ucdavis.edu or 360-790-0035.
