Dungeness crabs live in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of the U.S. from northern California up to Alaska. They are carnivores, which means they like to eat meat, so they catch fish, other crabs, worms, squids, starfish, and snails. They hunt along the sea floor for animals that ar...
Was their pattern of evolution mostly a leisurely “random walk” or were there early bursts of shape innovation in the mustelid tree of life, or did shape evolve toward one or more optimal shapes (e.g. suited to ecology/habitat)? We found that the most likely pattern involved multiple ...

the industrialized world. This runoff also feeds algae blooms, which tend to choke out other marine species, creating a dead zone in which crown-of-thorns starfish can thrive. In addition, the natural predators of this starfish are on the decline, thanks to extensive hunting and habitat damage...
If you haven’t checked in on Climate Courage, do have a listen to Elizabeth Ward-Sing, as she shares her passion for the ocean and sharks, and we went really wide in this conversation, because it’s all linked! Leader’s Declaration on Food System a milestone momen...
Some studieshighlight that mussels improve the living environments for other organisms by recycling nutrients, providing structural habitat, stabilizing sediments, and modifying food webs. For example, suppose the mussel population was decreased. In that case, algae and other plankton might overpopulate,...
