Pallid Sturgeon Egg Adhesion
Pallid sturgeon eggs become adhesive minutes after fertilization. Scientists are working to understand the factors that influence the adhesiveness of sturgeon eggs.

Bee Trap
Researchers emptying a set of traps. The team uses a hand-net to capture larger bees observed along the transects. The same approach is used in the non-powerline land cover types to survey bees in those land covers.
