in Scientific Reports
| Description | Evolution of marine invertebrates exposed to high carbon dioxide/low pH can be extremely rapid. When developing lobsters are exposed to warmer, low pH water their physiology is compromised and if death occurs it seems to be linked with unsuccessful moulting |
| Exploitation Route | The results are being used as the basis for further grant proposals in our laboratory and in other laboratories across the world. |
