ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
We would like to thank Derek Pouchnik and Weiwei Du at the WSU
Laboratory for Biotechnology and Bioanalysis for their help with the
Sanger sequencing. We would also like to thank members of the Friesen
lab past and present for their help and advice on this project. This
work was supported by a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral
Research Fellowship in Biology (NSF award 1812184) awarded to R. H.
Petipas. We would also like to acknowledge that this work was done on
the traditional land of the first people of the Palouse. The Nimíipuu
(Nez Perce) Tribe and the Palus people continue to work, live, play, and
honor the traditions of their ancient heritage in Eastern Washington.
Additionally, our historical specimens were collected around Washington
State, which is home to 37 federally recognized tribes
(https://wsu.edu/about/land-acknowledgement/) and other
non-federally recognized tribes. The people of these tribes continue to
thrive today in Washington State and we acknowledge their careful
stewardship of the land over time immemorial to the present day.
