Professor Mark OsbornUnderstanding the impact of #climatechange and also #oceanacidifcation on
#marine #ecosystems requires study across multiple trophic levels.
This valuable new review explores the importance of #zooplankton and their response to #climatechange highlighting the likelihood of increases in CO2 from zooplankton respiration but a number of knowledge gaps to address.

Zooplankton are a critical link to higher trophic levels and play an important role in global biogeochemical cycles. This Review examines key responses of zooplankton to ocean warming, highlights key knowledge and geographic gaps that need to be addressed, and discusses how better use of observations and long-term zooplankton monitoring programmes can help fill these gaps.
