Behavioural effects and acclimation capacity of marine invertebrates to ocean acidification (Old ID 22680)

Principal Investigator

Marine invertebrates and fundamental to global ecosystem function: however, recent discoveries have shown ocean acidification alters their behaviour. The complex impacts of these changes on invertebrates and the potential for species to acclimate behaviour to changing ocean chemistry remain unknown. This project will assess marine invertebrate behaviour and the potential for acclimation to better understand the effects of rising carbon dioxide on marine ecosystems. This information will improve the capacity to understand and mitigate the effects of global change.
