In addition to its other functions, this site serves as a notebook for keeping track of data and references. In our effort to keep a handle on the local species’ characteristics and publications, information about each will be posted on its own page.

The first species to receive this honor is the prominent, large, and widespread stink beetle, Eleodes obscura. It has been the subject of field surveys, respirometry experiments, and longevity studies here at the lab, and may be the most studied species of Eleodes.

Expect more pages to become active with time. Hopefully, this will become a resource that many people in the community can make use of.
