West Texas A&M
University

West Texas A&M University (WTAMU) serves as a satellite for gathering data,
conducting fieldwork and training for the REVSYS Vaejovidae project. The
geographical location of WTAMU makes it ideally suited as a base for fieldwork
in northern Mexico, Texas, New Mexico, and eastern Arizona. A member of the
Texas A&M University System, WTAMU is dedicated to providing high quality
baccalaureate and graduate education. WTAMU is committed to serving as the
principal academic, cultural, technical, service, and research center for the
multi-state region surrounding Canyon and Amarillo. WTAMU, a comprehensive
Master’s I institution of higher education located in the heart of the Texas
Panhandle in Canyon, ca. 20 miles south of Amarillo, serves as the principal
undergraduate and graduate institution for a 26 000 square mile area.
WTAMU has one school—the Graduate School—and four colleges—the College of
Agriculture, Nursing, and Natural Sciences; the College of Education and Social
Sciences; the Sybil B. Harrington College of Fine Arts and Humanities; and the
T. Boone Pickens College of Business. There are 14 divisions/departments located
within these colleges/school. The University also serves as a regional division
for the Texas Agricultural Extension Service (TAES), the Texas Engineering
Experiment Station (TEES), the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI), the Texas
Forest Service, and the Texas Wildlife Management Service. In addition, the
University supports a number of active institutes, the most notable of which are
the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association’s Carcass Data Service, the Dryland
Agriculture Institute, and the Alternative Energy Institute. It also takes pride
in the Cornette Library and the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum.
The
Department of Life, Earth, & Environmental Sciences provides undergraduate
and Master’s level graduate students with the opportunity to obtain a broad
background in the biological sciences. The department has emphases in natural
history, ecology, and systematics, and has a solid record in undergraduate and
graduate student research. The Department has excellent facilities with
supporting equipment for fieldwork, including four 16-passenger vans and a
four-wheel drive pickup. Details of some of the major facilities and equipment
available at WTAMU for this project are
accessible through links on the menu to the left of this page.
