Impaired learning of predators and lower prey survival under elevated CO 2 : a consequence of neurotransmitter interference
Abstract Ocean acidification is one of the most pressing environmental concerns of our time, and not surprisingly, we have seen a recent explosion of research into the physiological impacts and ecological consequences of changes in ocean chemistry. We are gaining considerable insights from this work...
