Return of the petri dishes

So far this semester has been: 2.5 days Brown - 4 days Nahant - 3 days Brown - 4 days Nahant. Last Friday-Monday I was back up there running a full isopod herbivory experiment. Basically, the trial we ran the week before showed that isopods might actually graze enough to be important, so we should look at their grazing patterns in greater detail.

 Multiple-choice petri dish setup: we have 6 species in there. You can just see an isopod in front of the rubber band on the far chamber.

 

70 petri dishes, 210 isopods, 63 grams of freshly collected algae.

Here we go again...
