One other 12 months of our “Hardbunnsfauna”-project; Invertebrate fauna of marine rocky shallow-water habitats: species mapping and DNA barcoding (funded by the Norwegian taxonomy Initiative) is coming to an finish.
I opted for a simple technique to present a number of the actions we’ve had on our by choosing a submit from every month on our Instagram account to share.
Do give us a comply with, should you aren’t already: we’re @hardbunnsfauna on each Instagram and Twitter!

April: outcomes are coming in on a number of the DNA barcoding we’re doing. Sponges (just like the blue one right here) are tough to barcode, however we’re getting some attention-grabbing outcomes!

Could: we now have additionally barcoded quite a lot of different teams, together with a considerable quantity of microgastropods (tiny snails)

August: Fieldwork within the neighborhood; we sampled invertebrates from the fjord clean-up SUB was doing in Puddefjorden

September: We participated at an occasion at Os along with Havkollektivet, introducing the invertebrate and vertebrate locals to one another

October: Katrine was on a analysis cruise with restricted web, however did pattern many attention-grabbing critters for the venture

November: Area work in Haugesund, the place Slettaa Dykkerklubb organized a course on marine biology for divers
