Notes"The data presented here show that biochemical-based aging can now be widely used to assess age in N. californiensis, facilitating more in-depth investigations of basic biological and ecological processes for this species." (from the Abstract) Major professors were Brett R. Dumbauld and Christopher J. Langdon.
