Unsung Ocean Heroes: Copepods, Crucial Animals to the Biosphere

Copepods, tiny crustaceans, are the most abundant animals in the ocean (and arguably on Earth). The talk will highlight the crucial role copepods play in the ocean’s ecology and biogeochemistry; and how they serve as models of evolution in real time to infer the response of the biota to climate change and other global stressors.
