Ocean acidification is causing increased predation on Mytilus californianus by specialist and generalist crabs

Creator:

Abstract:

Ocean acidification is negatively impacting organisms that use calcium carbonate to form their shells. Increasing OA conditions are putting a strain on these calcareous animals by weakening their shells, thus causing them to become more vulnerable to predation. Worsening shell integrity may lead to a decline in hard-shelled prey populations...
