NOAA CCME Scholar Benjamin Johnson Researches Rate of Consumption of Squid in Indian River Lagoon
July 11, 2019
It is well-studied that predators have a significant effect on their prey both on the land and in the sea, termed top-down control. However, characterizing the geographic variation in the strength of predation, scaling from different habitats to different latitudes, has been difficult to do, particularly in the ocean. MarineGEO has pioneered a...
