Project:

Biodiversity and toxicity of leeches within the Argyle Lake ecosystem

Students:

Shaun Gentilin, Reese Logan

School:

Babylon Junior-Senior High School, Suffolk

Mentors:

Claire Donaldson

Abstract:

In this experiment we plan to determine the biodiversity of leech species within the Argyle Lake ecosystem. Also, from these different species, we will determine whether there are common ancestors between them, using genetic similarities and differences obtained from DNA barcoding.
