Maine Public features UMaine Arctic char research
Maine Public featured research from the University of Maine about the impacts of climate change on the feeding patterns of Arctic char populations in Maine. Maine Public interviewed University of Maine graduate students Brad Erdman and Fred Seavey; Mike Kinnison, professor of evolutionary applications; and Christina Murphy, assistant professor at the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Conservation Biology. Murphy and Kinnison and a colleague from the University of New Hampshire recently was awarded a $1.5 million National Science Foundation grant to study how fish fit into the food webs in Maine lakes, and how this might predict their vulnerability to climate change. The Bangor Daily News, Vermont Public, New Hampshire Public Radio, Connecticut Public, New England Public Media and WCAI-FM (Woods Hole, Massachusetts) shared the Maine Public report.
