Surveys for Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera (EPT) Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN).
Surveys for Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera (EPT) Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN).
This is Texas Parks and Wildlife funded project that is evaluating the current distribution of rare Texas macroinvertebrates. The Greenwold lab is developing a novel eDNA sampling strategy for eight EPT taxa.

Develop a nationally scalable monitoring and assessment program to improve the ACEP-WRE program
Develop a nationally scalable monitoring and assessment program to improve the ACEP-WRE program
This NRCS, USDA funded project is a multistate grant led by Dr. Mike Eggleton at The University of Arkansas. Overall, this project seeks to compare the structure and function of reconstructed wetlands to agricultural and naturally-occurring wetlands. The Greenwold lab is focused on studying bird fauna and developing an avian Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) for wetlands in the Red River watershed.
