Freshwater meets estuarine community ecology

Summer 2015 - Field site scoping and legit sampling at the Outer Banks, NC with the M McCoy lab, ECU. In collaboration with the M McCoy Lab (led by MS Student Jo Werba), we examined the impacts of zooplankton dispersal on aquatic community structure and function along a salinity gradient. Spencer led the charge on sampling and processing bacterioplankton! The experiment was set up at the Coastal Studies Institute.
