Question:
What are some likely consequences of ocean warming for benthic animals/benthos ?
Author: Asger LIndberg-NielsenAnswer:
Benthic animals are generally poikilotherme When temperature changes new species will have max performance %. Will decide interspecific(mellem arter) competition and which species do better. Consequences: - Many animals will omve towards the poles and away from equator - Phenology (timing of biological events) will also change. - could see adaptations to higher temps with heat shock proteins and so. - perish (bleaching of corals) :(
