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.

The main goal of our research is to gain a deeper understanding of the impact that we, humans, have on the environment and their inhabitants.
From the tiny bacterium to the mighty whale, we seek to understand how everything is connected and how we may be changing these connections.
