We just finished another good trip to the annual Canadian Society of Zoologists meeting. Moncton this year, which meant we could road trip it! Mike Murtaugh (MSc student) talked about his work exploring the consequences of a low levels of ultraviolet light on biofouling communities. Gavin Hiltz (Honours student) presented his work on developing a baseline behavioural survey of juvenile lobsters in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence. Victoria Tweedie-Pitre (Honours student) presented her study using in situ HCR of neural-specific gene expression in the pond snail, Lymnaea stagnalis. Russell also presented on a closely related topic, collaborating with Roger Croll at Dalhousie on exploring octopaminergic neuroanatomy. Alongside the usual conference stuff (fun, interesting science) we snuck in a side trip to the spectacular Bay of Fundy.
