Animals living in the Southern Ocean have evolved in a singular environment. It shares
many of its attributes with the high Arctic, namely low, stable temperatures, the pervading …

The fossil record is the primary source of data used to study predator-prey interactions in
deep time and to evaluate key questions regarding the evolutionary and ecological …

There is great concern over the future effects of ocean acidification on marine organisms,
especially for skeletal calcification, yet little is known of natural variation in skeleton size and …

Many marine invertebrates are able to regenerate lost tissue following injury, but
regeneration can come at a cost to individuals in terms of reproduction, behavior and …

The proportion of body mass devoted to skeleton in marine invertebrates decreases along
latitudinal gradients from large proportions in the tropics to small proportions in polar …

Future oceans are predicted to contain less oxygen than at present. This is because oxygen
is less soluble in warmer water and predicted stratification will reduce mixing. Hypoxia in …

Aim There is a general paradigm that marine predation pressure increases towards the
tropics and decreases with depth. However, data demonstrating global trends are generally …

Repaired injuries offer the opportunity to study predation in the fossil record and test
hypotheses concerning predation intensity, anti-predatory characters, and predator …

The impact of hydraulic dredging on Chamelea gallina populations in the mid-western
Adriatic Sea was assessed by evaluating and quantifying the damage exerted on harvested …

Marine calcifiers are amongst the most vulnerable organisms to ocean acidification due to
reduction in the availability of carbonate ions for skeletal/shell deposition. However, there …
