Zooplankton and the Ocean Carbon Cycle. (2017, background): “…of increased ocean temperature and decreased oxygen predicted global habitat compression of plankton biogeographic ranges (both poleward retreat and vertical contraction) (Deutsch et al. 2015), which may serve to focus or intensify zooplankton-mediated carbon exchange and export in these regions.”
Can we predict ectotherm responses to climate change using thermal performance curves and body temperatures? (2016, background): “Some of these abiotic factors are themselves temperature-dependent; for example, oxygen saturation and p CO 2 for aquatic organisms (Deutsch et al. 2015; Gunderson et al. 2016).”
The broad footprint of climate change from genes to biomes to people (2016, background): “In aquatic systems, warming increases oxygen demand but decreases oxygen content of the water, resulting in substantial metabolic costs (39).”
Interactive effects of acidification, hypoxia, and thermal stress on growth, respiration, and survival of four North Atlantic bivalves (2018, background): “Deutsch et al. (2015) suggested that marine populations may contract poleward if warmer, lower latitude regions no longer sustain oxygen levels to support their energetic needs.”
