Post-doctoral scholar Kirstin Meyer is studying subtidal succession in fouling communities in Woods Hole, and working in the lab of Lauren Mullineaux.
Image Of the Day caption:
Scientific studies often start with the basicsin this case, taking stock of what's out there in the environment. This spring and summer, WHOI postdoctoral scholar Kirstin Meyer and guest student Nicole Pittoors hung plastic fouling panels in the water off the WHOI pier and in nearby Eel Pond to find out what would grow on themas part of an experiment to assess how near-shore fouling communities develop and change over time. Here, Pittoors examines one of the panels under a microscope to count up the tunicates, bryozoans, and other kinds of marine invertebrates that have grown on it.
