To the FWGNA group:
The introduction of the "New Zealand mud snail" (Potamopyrgus antipodarium) into
steams of the American West has been attended by a blossoming of
interest in what was already perhaps the best-known freshwater
prosobranch. Our colleagues in Montana deserve special
commendation for their remarkable research efforts in this regard.
Below is an announcement for the 4th (yes, fourth!) NZMS Conference,
scheduled for Bozeman in mid-August. There's still time to submit
an abstract, but hurry! Contact Dave Richards directly for more
details.
And follow some of those links from the conference web site given below
if you want to be impressed at the state of our knowledge on Potamopyrgus!
Keep in touch,
Rob
