BIOL 202 & 103 2016 Winter Visit to QUBS

January 30th, 2016

Saturday January 30th 2016 we welcomed students from Queen's BIOL202 Diversity of Life class to the Queen's University Biological Station. Accompanying them were 4 BIOL103 students who wished to gain some insights on the Station and field research and course opportunities. The main goal of the trip was to do some benthic invertebrate sampling using Ekman bottom grab samplers, along with some leaf litter sampling with Berlese funnel traps. Eventually we will use the specimens for DNA barcoding and creating a 'Barcoding of Life Database' site unique to BIOL201/202 and QUBS.
