Post-doctoral scholar Kirstin Meyer is studying subtidal succession in fouling communities in Woods Hole, and working in the lab of Lauren Mullineaux.
Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 53, No. 1, pg 26:
Each week, Meyer found new animals growing on her panels, including these brownish bryozoans and orange tunicates, along with barnacles, sponges and other invertebrates that make up a biofouling community. Meyer saw the community shift as water temperature rose from spring into summer and as later arrivals competed for space.
