Scientists report that a marine heatwave in the Bering Sea drove a surge in hybrid crabs, according to NOAA Fisheries research. Warming waters apparently pushed different crab species into overlapping habitats, leading to increased interbreeding. The finding is drawing attention as another sign of how rapidly rising ocean temperatures are reshaping Arctic and sub-Arctic marine ecosystems and commercially important crab fisheries.
