Thanks everyone!

Hello all,

Well I just returned from the Tasmanian wilderness and was happily surprised to find that the project has been fully funded! I greatly appreciate everyone's contribution to this project. Keep in touch, as I plan on posting additional lab notes soon, and throughout the time it takes to get this new species of worm described! The genetic analyses are already in progress, though I probably won't be able to get all the sequencing done until after New Years.

I'll begin my drawings of the worm soon, and will share them in the next lab note.

Thanks again,

~Dan

About This Project

Trematodes are a highly diverse group of parasitic flatworms with complex multi-host life-cycles. I’ve collected trematode specimens from the Great Barrier Reef, which are awaiting scientific descriptions and names. Of these specimens, a peculiar form was recovered from the unicorn fish Naso unicornis.

Blast off!
