Dear colleagues, I was contacted yesterday by Congresswoman Grace Napolitano who is seeking research articles from the university community on quagga and zebra mussels to help inform the US Bureau of Reclamation on their control actions.
Of course, I can do a web of science search and come up with a list, but I would like to be able to include a contact name if the Congresswoman would like to follow up. Making these kinds of connections helps to demonstrate the utilty of our research to the Nation. Please send a pdf (or URL linking to a pdf) of any relevant articles on these invasive species along with a corresponding author's name and e-mail to rhoo...@cuahsi.org<mailto:rhoo...@cuahsi.org>. The article can be quite technical--that's OK. Grace is just trying to see that work isn't duplicated and that the responsible government agencies are aware of university research. **Please forward this e-mail to colleagues who are doing such work so that they can respond. Thanks for your help, Rick P.S. CUAHSI is a university consortium supported by the NSF to advance water science. More info at http://www.cuahsi.org. *********** Richard P.
