The encrusting #bryozoan (Watersipora sp.) is giving our taxonomists a headache! Through genetics, we've discovered what we thought was one species is actually MULTIPLE & they cannot be identified by morphological characters alone! #InvasiveSpecies #NISAW (1/6) Image
One species, Watersipora subtorquata complex, is wide spread as an #InvasiveSpecies across the globe. However, we have a poor understanding of its native region since it has been so often confused with several other species! #InvasiveSpeciesWeek #NISAW (2/6) Image
To make things even MORE confusing, there are multiple clades of the Watersipora subtorquata species! A clade is a group of organisms with the a common ancestor on its family tree. #InvasiveSpeciesWeek #NISAW (3/6) Image
