Bio 330 - Ecology

The images on this page were collected, enhanced and annotated by students in our general ecology course (BIO 330/330L). Specimens were collected in the field, then taken to the laboratory for digital imaging studies. The equipment used in the class was purchased with funds from an NSF ILI grant (DUE-9750521) awarded to Drs. Witz and Temple in 1997and an Alden Trust Grant awarded to them in 2006.  Images were captured with an Hitachi HP-D50 Digital Video camera (for both macroscopic and microscopic images) coupled to a Dell Pentium II Optiplex PC equipped with a frame grabber card. The images were enhanced and annotated with Image Pro Plus software. Students used these images in subsequent research as taxonomic keys for identification of specimens collected during stream sampling of macroinvertebrates.
