Hi All,
Thanks for the warm welcome. I should warn you that I'm really slow to reply/post to forums, but I'll attempt to visit regularly. To answer some of the questions and comments posted:
Sometimes my boss posts reports on his webpage:
WERC - Glenn Wylie
The ones related to work I've done aren't up there yet.
Cyrill - your snake is soooo beautiful!
I haven't started doing the tetra research yet, so I mainly have questions now too. It has been suggested that t
etra do specialize on Rana aurora draytoni (red legged frogs), and this has contributed to their decline, but there is no research backing this up. Differences/simliarities in diet between sympatric gartersnakes will likely be a major part of my research. Perhaps at this time next year I'll actually know a little something about this!
best,
melissa
