Students enrolled in BIOL 534 (Advanced topics in Ecology: Molecular Ecology - Labs) collected 12 specimens each of the solitary ascidian (sea-squirt) Styela plicata. The students will thus contribute to a 15 year long project that is monitoring the genetic structure of the species population at the UNCW Center for marine science docks.
