Abstract:

Algae play a crucial role in the ecosystems in our community. Determining relationships between algae and marine invertebrates living on the algae is critical to our understanding of biodiversity. We hope DNA barcoding will help us draw conclusions about the symbiotic relationships between marine invertebrates and the algae that they inhabit.
