Visiting Researchers
Field research conducted by visiting scientists has led to significant findings. These include the discovery of a new species of dragonfly, the St. Croix snaketail (Ophiogomphus susbehcha), and the rediscovery of the winged mapleleaf mussel (Quadrula fragosa), thought to have been extinct since 1930.
Visiting scientists continue to address issues such as global change, forest fragmentation, tick-borne diseases, the impacts of development on water quality, and biodiversity.
