Shantel’s second paper from her undergraduate research has just been accepted by the Canadian Journal of Zoology!  This paper, based on her senior thesis research finds that dragonfly larvae are voracious predators on trematode cercariae and that smaller larvae eat more than large larvae when Daphnia are available as alternative prey. Nice work Shantel!
