My research with stonerollers will hopefully contribute to a better
understanding of _Campostoma_ population and species structure by looking at
one usually informative gene, the cytochrome b gene that is part of the
mitochondrial DNA. This isn't the only way to do it, but has been useful
with other fishes.
