Existing methods for calculating the dynamics of biodiversity are not very effective in detecting massive changes in species communities due to the effects of ocean acidification. Research from the University of Adelaide shows that where biodiversity measurements show little or no change, there may still be a reorganization of ecological communities in our oceans. “The […]

Climate change is expected to affect ocean biodiversity and play a major role in future changes in the structure of marine communities. Indeed, marine species are directly impacted by changes in ocean temperature and acidity, which can alter their abundance, diversity, distribution, feeding patterns, development and reproduction.
