Michael Edward Huber, a Scripps Institution of Oceanography graduate student, conducts experiments in his lab. His 1983 Thesis (Ph.D.) was titled: Ethology and population biology of Trapezia, a xanthid crab symbiotic with reef corals : with special reference to territoriality and speciation. In 1988, Huber moved to the University of Papua New Guinea to study and dive on some of the world's most spectacular coral reefs. He served as Head of the University's marine research station on Motupore Island, and became increasingly interested in marine environmental science, especially with regard to reefs, mangroves, seagrass beds, and other tropical systems. This interest continued to grow during four years as Director of a marine research station on the Great Barrier Reef. November 3, 1980
