News Center features UMaine, UNH arctic charr study
News Center of Maine reported University of Maine researchers investigating how the diversity and evolution of feeding habits among Arctic charr populations in Maine affect their resilience or vulnerability to climate change for a study with the University of New Hampshire. “These Arctic char populations are the canary in the coal mine for this part of the world,” said Michael Kinnison, a UMaine professor of evolutionary applications. “What we see with these Arctic char might help us make predictions for these species for years to come.”
