Update To The Last Entry...

The stippled studfish DNA shown in the last entry's PCR gel photo is from Elkahatchee Creek in Coosa County and Broken Arrow Creek in Tallapoosa County. This expands our geographical coverage of Tallapoosa creeks. When we meet for this Friday's collecting trip Joe Scanlan will give me 6 ethanol preserved studfish from Sofkahatchee Creek in Elmore County. This is the only known population in the Coosa River drainage, with an unknown history. Looking at their DNA may explain their history as an anomalous population.
