Arctic Marine Evolution: using local adaptation to infer future evolutionary responses of Calanus copepods to a changing environment (EvoCal)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The EvoCal project investigates whether two key copepod species, Calanus finmarchicus<\/em> and Calanus glacialis<\/em>, can adapt to future climate change through acclimatization or genetic adaptation. These species are vital to Arctic and North Atlantic food webs.<\/p>\n

We study populations along the Norwegian coast\u2014from temperate waters to the High Arctic\u2014by:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Measuring environmental variability using advanced sensors,<\/li>\n
  2. Mapping genetic population structure with new genomic tools, and<\/li>\n
  3. Testing physiological tolerance to temperature, pH, and salinity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    By combining field data, lab experiments, and evolutionary theory, EvoCal aims to improve predictions of how these species will respond to a changing ocean.<\/p>\n
