Marine Heatwave Triggered a Hybrid Crab Surge in the Bering Sea
Scientists report that a marine heatwave in the Bering Sea triggered a surge in hybrid crabs, as warming waters appear to have expanded the range of one crab species into the territory of another, leading to increased interbreeding. NOAA Fisheries and Alaska outlets are covering the finding, which highlights how ocean warming is reshaping species boundaries and ecosystems in sub-Arctic waters.
Why now: New NOAA research linking ocean warming to hybridization in a commercially and ecologically important crab population
