Stress physiology and weapon integrity of intertidal mantis shrimp under future ocean conditions.
Calcified marine organisms typically experience increased oxidative stress and changes in mineralization in response to ocean acidification and warming conditions. These effects could hinder the potency of animal weapons, such as the mantis shrimp's raptorial appendage. The mechanical propertie...
