Several Environment Institute Researchers have been involved with a new study which has found that the warming ocean climate is causing seaweed communities, on which fauna survive, to retreat to the brink of the continent and possibly extinction.
The results were published in the latest edition of Current Biology, and Dr Bayden Russell, Dr Fred Gurgel, Professor Corey Bradshaw and Assoc. Professor Sean Connell are among the authors of this paper led by Assistant Professor Thomas Wernberg from The University of Western Australia.
