As mentioned on the
Home page, the photograph at the top of each page
was taken at Southwater Key, a location close to Carrie Bow Cay
field station where much of the ostracod research used to put
this website together has been obtained and studied. This research
was carried out by Anne Cohen, Elizabeth Torres, Gretchen Gerrish,
Jim Morin and Trevor Rivers. The photo was used with permission from
Gretchen Gerrish.

Photeros annecohenae!
