Richard B. Gump South Pacific Research Station

10 Dec, 05 PM - 13 Dec, 05 AM

Between Nov 2012 and Feb 2013 Nathaniel Evans and Jenna Moore will be participating in the Saudi RV run by the Living Ocean Foundation coming through FP. We will be getting comparative marine invertebrate samples from the Tuamotu-Gambiers. These specimens will be used to compare with Moorea fauna (Biocode data) as well as the Marquesas, where we recently sampled on a French run cruise on the RV Braveheart. Some of the specimens from the latter are stored with the rest of Biocode invert bits at Gump. Our work will consist of organizing and processing all these previously collected specimens to bring back to the US for genetic work. No collections will be made at GUMP during this work. Permits with the French are being arranged with Serge Andrefouet at IRD (who was also in charge of the Marquesas trip).
