This proposal aims to assess how the combined stress of living in nonneutral water (pH = 5.0, 6.0, 8.0, and 9.0) and being exposed to a continuous, sublethal dose of 0.02 μg/L of the neonicotinoid imidacloprid will affect Anax junius stadia growth rates. Mortality rates will also be measured.enCollege of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource SciencesEnvironmental Sciences, Policy and Management BSMagna Cum LaudeThesis or Dissertation
