Plankton Planet: Harmed by Humans This program examines broad implications of severe changes in the age-old equilibrium of marine plankton: how the inadvertent transfer of invasive plankton species via ship ballast is negatively altering the biodiversity of plankton; how agricultural runoff and other pollutants are affecting plankton populations; and how rising sea temperatures due to global warming are facilitating the proliferation of toxic plankton species.

Crime Scene Insects
Insects found on or near a corpse can reveal not just the time of death, but also whether or not a body has been moved, what drugs the victim might have taken, and other details. This program looks at the role of insects in solving two murder cases: one from 1935, in which maggots helped pinpoint when the suspect disposed of his victims’ bodies: and the other from 1997, in which ants and maggots negated the suspect’s alibi and placed him at the crime scene.
