“Team Grasshopper 2009”
At the field station (near Xilinhot, Inner Mongolia), we collaborate closely with Shuguang Hao (front left), an assistant professor in Le Kang’s group based out of the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. Feng Jin (front right) is a long term field assistant for Hao and lives next to the station. She has provided a great deal of local grasshopper expertise and inspiration to make our field seasons a success. In the back, left to right is: Zhantou Fan, Chinese summer undergraduate intern; Colleen Ford, ASU undergraduate researcher; and Yuan Kong, Chinese summer undergraduate intern.
