From Dr. Adrian Smith, Head of the Museum’s Evolutionary Biology & Behavior Lab:
“Did you know that describing new species of aquatic insects, like stoneflies, can help monitor freshwater pollution levels? I didn’t. But I spent a few days with some researchers learning about their work and how the entomology has an extraordinary mix of basic (describing new species) and applied (monitoring pollution levels) research goals.”
