Last week, scientists from the UofSC celebrated the 1,000^th sampling event of a 40-year zooplankton time series in North Inlet Estuary. Started by Dennis Allen and Paul Kenny of the Baruch Institute, zooplankton samples have been collected every two weeks since 1981, with Dr. Joshua Stone taking over the project in 2018. The project is one of the longest running zooplankton time series in the world and provides critical insights into long-term changes in community composition, invasive species introductions, range shifts, population dynamics, phenology, and food-web responses to climate change. Impressive!
