Metabolic Response of Plectus murrayi to Changing Climate and Lengthening Summers
Due to the effects of climate change, summers are lengthening every year in the McMurdo dry valleys of Antarctica. Plectus murrayi, a hardy nematode that inhabits these soils, shows increased metabolic activity as a result of temperature, reaching its peak metabolic activity at 40°C. Furthermore, CO...

Due to the effects of climate change, summers are lengthening every year in the McMurdo dry valleys of Antarctica. Plectus murrayi, a hardy nematode that inhabits these soils, shows increased metabolic activity as a result of temperature, reaching its peak metabolic activity at 40°C. Furthermore, CO2 produced by these nematodes is significant and an increase due to heightened metabolic activity could release a detrimental carbon reservoir. |
