The Oregon Institute of Marine Biology's Spring 2018 Seminar Series hosts Serena Caplins, a PhD candidate in the University of California Davis Coastal and Marine Sciences Institute, to describe her thesis work relating to ecology and evolution. Her lecture is titled, "Trade-offs in life-history traits, from nemerteans to saccoglossans."  Nemerteans are commonly known as ribbon worms; saccoglossans are better known popularly as sea slugs.  The talk takes place Friday, May 18, 4 p.m. in the Boathouse Auditorium.  It is free and open to the public, but be aware that the talks in this series aren't oriented to a general public audience--you will be listening in on scientists discussing their work in their own terms.
