Experimental evolution: Marine copepods can genetically adapt to changing ocean conditions

Copepods are among the most important organisms in the ocean. The millimeter-small animals are food for many fish species and are therefore of central importance for life in the sea. Marine biologists fear that climate change could affect the small crustaceans in the future—and that this could decimate the most important food source for fish and many other marine animals.
