Anthony Porreca, a doctoral student in zoology from Homer Glen, holds a young pallid sturgeon Monday, Jan. 26, 2016, at the McLafferty Annex. The facility has enabled Porreca to research the habitat preferences and reproductive success of pallid sturgeons, an endangered species found in the Mississippi and Missouri rivers that is competing for resources with the overpopulated shovelnose sturgeon. Porreca said the research requires salt and fresh water capabilities and control of minute temperature variances, which were not possible in the previous building. (Morgan Timms | @morgan_timms)
