in a coevolutionary process.”

Otter-star project photos

In May, I got to help out graduate student Casey Sheridan with some subtidal fieldwork. Casey is working with a team of researchers to study sea urchin population dynamics and their effects on kelp forests (the CeNSUS program).

On our trip, we collected lots of urchins and kelp to use in feeding experiments. We also collected some bat stars for a lab studying color variation in them. Here are a few pictures of our outing.
