The effects of high seawater PCO2 on protein oxidative damage and ubiquitination in Penaeus vannamei Summary: High carbon dioxide levels in aquatic systems impact protein ubiquitination and protein degradation in whiteleg shrimp.

Our new paper is online showing that high levels of CO2 in aquatic environments increase protein degradation in prawns. A possible cause of why aquatic animals grow slower under high CO2?

Intraspecific variability across seasons and geographically distinct populations can modify species contributions to ecosystems Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog.

In our recent paper we show that trait-ecosystem function relationships are transient and differ across seasons and geographic locations.

Implications for more nuanced management of benthic ecosystems.
