Higher CO2 levels increased shedding rates, indicating greater organism stress and biological effects on oysters.
Additionally, increased CO2 accelerates DNA and RNA decay, suggesting that ocean acidification may impact the reliability of eDNA-based biodiversity monitoring.

Lots of probably valid critiques of this study, but the fact we can measure anything on a planet 100 light years away (or even know it’s there) is amazing.
