Times Record advances aquatic insect talk by Greig
The Times Record advanced a talk about aquatic insects by Hamish Greig, an assistant professor of stream ecology at the University of Maine on Nov. 13. The 7 p.m. talk, “Bugs of the Bay,” is the second presentation in Friends of Merrymeeting Bay’s 23rd annual Winter Speaker Series and will be held in the Morrill Meeting Room of Curtis Memorial Library in Brunswick. Greig will provide an overview of his research on the diverse aquatic insect communities of Merrymeeting Bay’s tidal freshwaters and the role that tidal hydrology plays in species distributions. He also will reveal discoveries of a dragonfly Species of Greatest Conservation Need not previously recorded in Sagadahoc County and discuss ideas for future research in the area, the article states.
