Just out in @jexpbiol.bsky.social: Great work by @racinerangel.bsky.social documenting effects of a 6-month factorial field manipulation of warming X CO2 on intertidal mussel shell thickness, strength, & corrosion. #SitkaNSF @cascadejbs.bsky.social journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...
CO2 X warming treatment in a tide pool. Black boxes on the high ledge hold batteries & circuit boards, with tubes leading to heating elements in the pool. The smaller black box generates CO2, which bubbles into the pool.

As scientists warn that #AMOC may slow/collapse, experts are trying to improve research on this critical ocean conveyor system
We need:
- Better measurements
- Global cooperation
- Sustained funding
- New tech for real-time data

AMOC research=climate security. Let's keep it going! 🌍💙

🚨Paper Alert! 🚨

🌊 #MPAs stage of establishment 🪜 + level of protection 🎚️ = good predictors of conservation #outcomes 🐟 :

1️⃣ Actively managed + strongly regulated MPAs -> fish recover

2️⃣ Implemented MPAs that are minimally protected -> detrimental outcomes for fish
