On Friday May 13, 2022 we celebrate one more time the many accomplishments of several of our iMESA Lab members: Caylee Lindsay graduated in Biology, Mina Surprenant (co-advised with Dr. Jessie Jarvis) and Sammy Morrison obtained their Master degrees in Marine Biology and we even got to celebrate the PhD degree of Dr. Peyton Thomas (advisor Dr. Steve Kinsey), who started her thesis with sea-squirts even if she finished it with fish! So proud of the 2022 crew! Go Seahawks!

The iMESA Lab had a busy day! We had lunch to celebrate the end of the academic year and the successful Master defenses of Mina Surprenant and Sammy Morrison, and a belated birthday celebration for Brenna Hutchings. Then in the afternoon, both Sammy and Mina presented their research results one last time at the CMS Graduate Poster Session! Busy but accomplished Friday for our Lab! :)

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 iMESA Lab

    Our Lab seeks to advance current knowledge on the biology and ecology of marine invertebrates as it relates to their susceptibility to anthropogenic impacts and climate change. 

    The Lab is located at the Center for Marine Science of the University of North Carolina Wilmington.
