Hi everyone, I know some of you may know this and I would apreciate the help as I am limited on time. I am leaving for Texas tomorrow and my schedule for timing my start of research gives me about a week to locate enough A tigrinum to do my research project. I am based in Umbarger , which is south of Amarillo. My study is on the effect of predators on phenotypic plasticity and is similar to one done in Japan (which i modeled some of my methods from). My protocol calls for large larvae, neotenics or as a last resourt morphed ones. I had a bunch of neotenics last year before the flooding but most morphed out a month into captivity. The isolated pit i got them from flooded and they now are spread out throughout the flooded basin area. I dont have an electroshocker, so the manhours to locate them in the dam will probably be prohibitive. I will only use morphed ones when I have exhausted the other options.
ANYWAYS..so here is what I need, a specific location for any gilled A tigrinum, preferably from within a 3 hours drive of Canyon TX. It will probably be a playa that has stayed wet over the winter or filled early. We have a collection permit, IACUC approval and about a weeks time. They will not be destroyed or harmed in the project and will be released once it is complete.
Can anyone help me out?
