Hi Dr. Groves,
Nice talking to you a few minutes ago.
I am a biologist in Barrow, and I am just beginning to look at some
freshwater snails in local ponds.
1.  What species are present?
2.  Do you have a key for species up here?
3.  I work on overwintering physiology in general; do you have any
references on overwintering snails such as whether they tend to be
freeze tolerant or freeze avoiding?
Thanks for your time.
-Todd
P.S., Need any samples?
-T
