A fluorescence microscopy image of a juvenile sea slug (Berghia stephanieae). This species will be used in the project to study the role of immune receptors in the evolution of kleptocnidy in mollusks, which is the ability to steal stinging cells from prey and use them for defense. In the image, the cyan pouches highlight the cnidosacs where the slugs store the stinging organelles for their own defense. Yellow highlights muscle fibers and magenta highlights cilia and digestive tissue.

BioTIME Study Links Local Species Decline to Global Extinction Risk

In the Arctic, there are climate processes that have no equivalent at lower latitudes: the presence of sea ice, altering heat fluxes between the atmosphere and the ocean, and the injection of ocean heat stored deep below the Arctic surface represent a previously overlooked class of influencing factors.
