28 October 2018. Members of the
Therkildsen (Nina Therkildsen, Maria Akopyan) and
Baumann labs (Hannes Baumann, Callie Concannon) went on a joint road trip together to sample juvenile Atlantic silversides for our NSF project about the
genomic underpinnings of local adaptation in the ocean. We targeted again three sites,
Morehead City NC,
Oregon Inlet NC, and
Chincoteague Island VA, sampling silversides via beach seine. The weather was lousy and the work strenuous, but the mood elated, because we got all the fish we needed for subsequent genomic and otolith analyses.
What a great collaboration. Check out some of the pictures from the trip below.
