NYT interviews Runge on zooplankton and climate change
In an article titled “Rising Temperatures Are Scrambling the Base of the Ocean Food Web,” Jeffrey Runge, a zooplankton ecologist who recently retired as a professor from the University of Maine School of Marine Sciences, spoke with The New York Times about Calanus finmarchicus, a type of zooplankton. You can think of Calanus as “little batteries that are floating in the ocean,” said Runge.
