Crabs and shrimps are some of the most familiar (and tasty) denizens of the deep, yet their lifestyles and the ecological roles that they play are often dramatically different from their public personas. I will dispel some of the myths and misconceptions about these fascinating animals and share observations, photos, and video of unexpected and unique behaviors that will change your perception about crustaceans and give you a new appreciation for their varied roles in marine ecosystems.
To keep this series accessible to all, regardless of the ability to pay, there is no set charge for the event; however, donations are always welcomed and appreciated.
Our lecture series, The Future of Oceans, draws on the commitment of professional researchers and educators across all academic spectrums to help define and inspire the health of our oceans.
