Climate change is having an unprecedented impact on the planet and aquatic ecosystems are particularly at risk due to deoxygenation caused by global warming. To better understand deoxygenation and the effects it is already having (and will continue to have) on aquatic habitats, a multidisciplinary team of experts including EEoS principle investigator Ellie Laetz have teamed up to write a review article. This article details "the scope of natural and predicted anthropogenic changes in aquatic oxygen levels", identifies "behavioral and physiological mechanisms that underlie the interactive effects of oxygen with other stressors", and outlines "a set of approaches for maximizing the effectiveness of future work".
