Evolutionary Ecology of Aquatic Invertebrates Dr. Dean McCurdy Nova Scotia, CANADA
Mike Kopec (' 05) and Diana Lancaster (' 06) collecting mud shrimp on
the shores of Nova Scotia, Canada. These samples are being used to
explore the biology of intersexual amphipods, which exhibit
characteristics of both males and females!
Mike Kopec (' 05) carefully extracts an amphipod from a sieve at the
Blomidon mudflat, Nova Scotia, Canada. These amphipods will be used as
part of Mike's Honors research project on the biology of microsporidian
parasites (these parasites alter the sex of certain crustaceans).

Diana Lancaster (' 06) gets up early to collect crawling crustaceans on a mudflat in Nova Scotia, Canada. Diana will later stain her samples to identify parasites that infect amphipods.
Val White (' 05) attends a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) workshop in Middlebury, VT in July, 2004. As part of her College Honors research project, Val is developing a GIS database on invasive plant species at Albion College's Whitehouse Nature Center.
