Hochberg Laboratory for the Study of Microscopic Invertebrate Diversity

The following is a list of current projects conducted in the Hochberg Lab.

All projects have a strong student component and focus largely on the local invertebrate fauna. Clicking on an image will open up a new window that describes the project in more detail (in progress).
