Question:
Have you
found any new organisms?
Raul, South Eugene High School
Answer:
Possibly. Biologist Verena
Tunnicliffe found a snail and a limpet a couple of days ago that she
thought might be new. They certainly have not been seen at Axial before.
Until she brings them to a taxonomy expert back on shore, she can't
be sure. The expert will consult the literature on the morphology
of the two organisms to see if there is a description that matches
them. If not, they are probably new.
