Скачать или смотреть Student Research Tracks Endangered Hairstreak Butterflies

Salisbury University biology majors Brittany Grubb of Baltimore, MD, and Connor Morningred of Crofton, MD, have focused their summer sponsored research project on studying an endangered species. With the mentorship of Dr. Dana Price of SU’s Biological Sciences Department, they are attempting to locate the state-endangered king hairstreak butterfly and their habitat to learn more about them and how they can be preserved. They will also work at the Salisbury Zoological Park with the common grey hairstreak, investigating color-changing properties based on location, environment, diet and more. The studies are being conducted in partnership with Maryland Department of Natural Resources, which relies on SU and other partners to assist with certain projects.
