Join us on Friday February 17 from noon-1pm for the Wild Neighbors Speaker Series: Texas Groundwater Fauna with Benjamin Hutchins.

His research focuses on the distribution of groundwater species in Texas and patterns of biodiversity in subterranean habitats. He received his PhD from Texas State University and previously worked as the state invertebrate biologist at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. His presentation will provide an overview of the amazing and unusual organisms that live in the dark, underground waters of the Lone Star State with special attention to new discoveries and groundwater ecology in the greater Austin area.
