Speaker: Nicole Feider and John Hammond, PhD
To date, there has been little research in how natural summer temperature variations in WI can impact the lethality of pesticides in a natural setting. (Most lethality tests are done in controlled laboratory settings.) Our goal was to determine how multiple stressors can make a huge impact on Daphnia, a keystone species.
