Vanessa Miller-Sims, Ph.D. Candidate (Boston University Marine Program) Office Extension: X7620 Email: vms@bu.edu Homepage: http://people.bu.edu/vms I am working on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia using behavioral assays and population genetics to determine how olfactory preferences of settling reef fish larvae effect dispersal. I am especially interested in understanding how these olfactory preferences are formed and how stable they are over time. Embryonic olfactory imprinting may play a key role in preference formation; I am using Amphiprion anemonefish to investigate this process. |
