Connectivity in Antarctic marine invertebrates (Staff)

 Members: Karen Miller

Using molecular markers we will be studying populations of marine invertebrates from coastal waters of Antarctica in order to understand the nature of population structuring in these isolated and extreme marine communities. Target study organisms include common species with contrasting reproductive modes including species of sponge, echinoderms, ascidians, bryozoans and molluscs.
