Limpets on Atlantic Shores: References

Acknowledgements I would like to thank Professors Todd Livdahl and Deb Robertson for arranging and offering this course; Jaime Fitzgerald for always helping arrange field work and materials; the Northeastern University Marine Science Center for permitting us to conduct research at Nahant; the BIOS people for aiding us in research in Bermuda; Matthew Wund for discussing time-series photography analysis; and especially my mother Mrs. Judy Locker for supplying a constant stream of cookies, cakes, fudge, and baklava to help me survive the last month of class.
