Are global warming and ocean acidification conspiring against marine ectotherms? A meta-analysis of the respiratory effects of elevated temperature, high CO2 and their interaction

The changing climate prompts the need to study and ultimately predict the outcome for marine ectothermic animals. An analysis of the effects on respiratory performance of rising temperature, carbon dioxide, and their interaction, reveals diverse responses and a trend for additive and antagonistic ra...

Description
Summary:The changing climate prompts the need to study and ultimately predict the outcome for marine ectothermic animals. An analysis of the effects on respiratory performance of rising temperature, carbon dioxide, and their interaction, reveals diverse responses and a trend for additive and antagonistic rather than synergistic interactions.
