Description du projet: The researchers would like to collect stickleback fish in Fox Holes Lakes. These fish will be used for laboratory crosses to determine which genes control the number, shapes, and sizes of bones in the skeleton. The research team will consist of Dr. Michael Shapiro and one other member of the Research Team. They will access Fox Holes Lake by car, since a road provides direct access to the lakeshore. They will use minnow traps to collect a maximum of 150 adult ninespine sticklebacks and 150 adult brook sticklebacks. They will collect fish over a 4-day period, most likely during the first or second week of June 2005. Traps typically will be set in the evening and retrieved the next morning. They will transport live specimens to Stanford University to establish genetic crosses in the laboratory. The researchers would be happy to give a formal presentation of their ongoing work to the community. They will also continue to submit annual reports to ARI for distribution to local communities. The study will be conducted at "Fox Holes Lakes" (unnamed water bodies) at 60°03’N, 112°27’W.
