Because tardigrades can be easily found and yet are understudied, fifth graders from Hill Elementary in the Austin Independent School District in Texas collaborated with their teacher and an expert to conduct a biodiversity survey of microscopic animals found in lichens and mosses on their school campus. These ten-year-olds learned to differentiate between tardigrades, rotifers, and nematodes as they collected samples from different habitats. In their first year of study, they observed 520 microscopic animals and found differences in their diversity and distribution patterns. A second study of 14 samples revealed 68 tardigrades from eight identified species, representing two classes, four orders, and five genera. Three of these species have never been recorded from the state of Texas and represent the first records for the state: Viridiscus perviridis (Ramazzotti, 1959), Milnesium cf. alpigenum (Ehrenberg, 1853), and Milnesium cf. brachyungue (Binda & Pilato, 1990). Furthermore, Mil. alpigenum and Mil. brachyungue were previously unknown in North America, thus representing the first records for both species on the continent. This experience demonstrates that students challenged with basic research questions can learn to conduct field research, carry out scientific surveys, collaborate with scientists and discover new knowledge. In this case, students learned to find tardigrades and contributed to our overall understanding of this phylum.","PeriodicalId":54431,"journal":{"name":"The Texas Journal of Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47923636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In May 2016, we collected specimens of eight lizard species, six of which range into Texas: Callisaurus draconoides, Cophosaurus texanus, Uta stansburiana, Urosaurus ornatus, Gambelia wislizenii, and Aspidoscelis sonorae (a parthenogenetic species), plus two species not found in Texas: Sceloporus clarkii and Aspidoscelis tigris. We analyzed stomach contents of the preserved lizards and computed diet breadth and overlap for each. All lizard species consumed arthropods only. Considering the entire sample, there was a significant correlation between lizard snout-vent length (SVL) and total volume of arthropods consumed, and between lizard SVL and mean volume per prey item, but not between lizard SVL and number of arthropods consumed. This suggests larger lizards did not consume more arthropods than smaller lizards, but they did consume larger ones. Overall, A. sonorae was the most specialized lizard species at Granite Gap whereas C. texanus seemed to be the most generalized owing to its high numeric and high volumetric diet breadth. The dietary overlap data suggest there were two groups of lizards at Granite Gap: one that consumes a large number and volume of termites (Callisaurus, Cophosaurus, and the two species of Aspidoscelis) and the other that consumes a large number and volume of ants (Uta, Urosaurus, small Sceloporus) plus cicadas when lizard size is large enough to consume them (large Sceloporus and Gambelia).","PeriodicalId":54431,"journal":{"name":"The Texas Journal of Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69517823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
