This weekend the Lotterhos Lab will be engaging the public at the Northeastern University Marine Lab Open House with our "Adaptive Evolution Development of Defensive Shells" game.  The poster below, made by graduate student Sara Schaal, shows the number of Families of prey that have evolved defensive traits over millions of years.  Kids will be able to "grade" shells on the presences of various defensive traits.  Thanks Sara for putting this together!
