Sarah Shainker, an undergrad working in the lab, will be continuing extracting DNA and genotyping native and non-native populations.

Connon Thomas, a REU student, will continue his salinity experiments with material we collected last week from Myrtle Beach south to Beaufort.

I will be continuing to fill in genotypes from our massive microsatellite effort from the winter and early spring as well as continuing with analyses of the DelMarVa samples and new SC samples.  As well, I will be doing some more phenology work at the end of the week.

I just finished setting up my experiment with lots of help from Alyssa and Meredith.  I am now continuing working on a survey of amphipod abundance and amphipod predation on the Fort Johnson mudflat.

Alyssa

This past week I continued running feeding assays with the urchins and crabs. I also helped Courtney set up her field experiment and worked with our former high school student (Jess) to extract the secondary metabolites from Gracilaria vermiculophylla. Now that we have the secondary metabolites, we can confirm that Gracilaria is deterrent to consumption by Diopatra and work with our collaborators in Florida to identify what compounds are present that act as deterrents.
