Welcome to the Dan Hornbach Lab Webpage
Depts. of Environmental Studies and Biology
Macalester College, St. Paul, MN 55105
This Web Page belongs to Dr. Daniel J. Hornbach, Professor of Biology at Macalester College. It was primarily started in an attempt to facilitate information search and retrieval for individuals within the Macalester College Departments of Environmental Studies and Biology. Much of the content deals with our research on freshwater mussels in the St. Croix River, MN and WI. We are especially interested in mussel conservation efforts and the relationship between changing land-use patterns and the long-term health of mussel communities.
