I love reading about discovering a new species but it always makes me wonder how much longer these things are going to last with a such a quick changing environment once ocean temperatures start to rise. Are these species part of a chain of natural processes, like the honeybee and pollination, and we didn’t know it, or are they just along for the ride?
