Their support is greatly appreciated. Institutional support from Iowa State University was also essential for completion of this project. One of the major challenges of this project was to coordinate the efforts of all the participating organizations and institutions. The unflagging commitment and far-sightedness of IDNR research biologist and co-principal investigator Lisa Hemesath were essential in this regard. She pulled the funding together to initiate this research, participated in all aspects of field work and was patient when data entry and analysis took longer than anticipated. She is thanked for all of the above. Additionally, the enthusiasm, commitment and friendship of IDNR biologists Bruce Ehresman and Pat Schiarbaum through every aspect of this project are greatly appreciated. The contributions of many other individuals were also important during this project.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
