August sampling in Maine

In mid August, I did a whirlwind trip up to New England to sample for the European green crab (Carcinus maenas) for an ongoing population genetics project I am part of exploring the admixture two invasion fronts: a historical and a more recent one (see publications for more information!). While flipping rocks with my field assistant for that site (my son Westley), we came across quite a beautiful population of sea stars. :-)
