They found that plankton, the basis of marine food webs, might react to warming in a predictable way. (newscientist.com)
But that doesn't mean that the consequences don't exist, from changes in marine food webs to shifts in oceanic and atmospheric chemical composition. (sciencedaily.com)
«This can help us determine mechanisms that influence species composition in planktonic communities exposed to red tides, and suggests that these chemical cues could alter large - scale ecosystem phenomena, such as the funneling of material and energy through marine food webs.» (sciencedaily.com)
