A new species of the cheilostome bryozoan Chiastosella in the Southern Ocean, past and present
Understanding whether marine calcifying organisms may acclimatise to climate change is important with regard to their survival over the coming century. Due to cold waters having a naturally higher CO2 uptake, the Southern Ocean provides an especially good opportunity to study the potential impact of...
