I just published a new article in Marine Ecology Progress Series with coauthors Eric Palkovacs and Kristy Kroeker!
Predator populations differ in their foraging responses to acute seawater acidification
Do all marine predator populations respond similarly to acute seawater acidification? We tested how Nucella dogwhelks from three different populations altered the consumption of mussels under ambient and acidified conditions. Our results demonstrate that exposure to acidification does not universally impair predators and responses may be related to prior pH exposure, leading to divergent ecological effects among different populations.
Huge thanks to Sandra, Cory, Nicole, and all others who helped those many early mornings and late nights in all weather conditions checking on snails every 12 hours for 60 days!
