TX and the Texas Wildlife Society meeting in Houston, TX. At the Texas Conservation
Symposium, Ulysses Oles (BS Biology 2022, MS 2024) presented a poster stemming from
his thesis research titled “Employing a new testing method for identifying fluridone
resistance in Hydrilla”, which describes his efforts to identifying fluridone resistant
populations of Hydrilla, an invasive aquatic plant, using novel molecular approaches.
At both meetings, Kira Gangbin (PhD 2027) presented a poster titled “Using targeted
