    The scientists at Pacific Analytics often conduct independent research to support our clients needs for reliable, unbiased, scientific information. 

    Since 2002, Pacific Analytics personnel have been monitoring the Wēkiu bug, a candidate for listing as an endangered species. The goal of this monitoring is to establish baseline  population estimates that will be used to measure the effectiveness of habitat protection and restoration protocols, and the impacts, if any, due to construction of NASA’s Outrigger Telescopes Project.

    We offer here the story of this amazing insect.
