It has been a very busy summer! I have been continuing to maintain colonies of Phanaeus vindex in the lab, and two weeks ago, they began breeding! I started and broke down my first trial, and it was a success! I am extremely excited to continue gathering data this summer. Its been a lot of sweat, but its worth it! Many thanks to Dr. Kimberly Sheldon for her continued support as well as the funding from the UTK undergrad research grant!
