Marty Condon, Dean C. Adams, Darrin Bann ('06), Kacie Flaherty, John Gammons, Jessica Johnson, Matthew L. Lewis, Sara Marsteller, Sonja J. Scheffer, Francisco Serna, and Susan Swensen. 2008. "Uncovering Tropical Diversity: Six Sympatric Cryptic Species of Blepharoneura (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Flowers of Gurania spinulosa (Cucurbitaceae) in Eastern Ecuador. Biological Journal of the Linnean Society 93: 779-797.
The article descibes the diversity they found in plant-eating flies in Ecuador. The research was supported by an NSF grant to Swensen and her collaborator, Marty Condon (Cornell College, Iowa).
Several IC biology majors, who all graduated in 2005, also participated in the research: Robin Rakobitsch, Anthony Santoriello, and Leslie Adams.
Great job.
