Flood at University of Oklahoma Biological Station

The University of Oklahoma Biological Station near Lake Texoma on the state’s southern border found itself in the middle of a once-in-a-century flood in June 2015. Three months earlier, researchers there had sampled the insect and invertebrate community in the area, and later sampling found a 93 percent decrease in abundance, a 60 percent decrease in species presence, and a 64 percent decrease in biomass among insects and other invertebrates nine months post-flood.
