alyssa's update

The past couple of weeks I have continued working on feeding assays with the crabs and urchins. We received some more Fijian seaweeds courtesy of our collaborator Mark Hay and we also received a few more temperate seaweeds thanks to Nicole who is now in CA. Our total number of seaweeds is now at 50 which is pretty exciting! I am about halfway through the feeding assays on the crabs and urchins and will begin working with the amphipods soon. I also will be starting trait assays on the new seaweeds sometime in the next week so stayed tuned for more on that!
