She sites the demise of super-sized jumbo lobsters as over-fishing. If the natural maximum size of lobsters is up to six feet in the 1800s I hate to think what the new co2 levels may bring! Perhaps lobster will be the new cattle?

Plants are also responding in a wide variety of ways--growing faster, growing slower, leafing out and flowering at different times--in similar studies. Same is true of insects--hatching sooner or later than "normal", metamorphosing at different rates.<br /><br />Bigger lobster might seem like a good thing, but think about what will happen if there are no leaves for newly hatched caterpillars to devour or no big, juicy caterpillars for baby birds to eat. And that's just the beginning.<br /><br />I'm liking this new science-y spin to your blog.Melissa Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04322048827106827307noreply@blogger.com
