Biometric and oocyte size measurements for the bivalves Astarte crenata and Bathyarca glacialis from the Western Barents Sea under ambient and near-future climate change conditions.

Quantification of interactive effects of ocean warming and ocean acidification based on near-future climate change projections on morphometrics and oocyte size of benthic invertebrates (the bivalves Astarte crenata and Bathyarca glacialis) from the Western Barents Sea. Supported by The Changing Arctic Ocean Seafloor (ChAOS) - how changing sea ice conditions impact biological communities, biogeochemical processes and ecosystems project (NE/N015894/1 and NE/P006426/1, 2017-2021), Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) in the UK.

本研究基于近未来气候变化预测，对海洋变暖和海洋酸化的交互作用展开量化分析，探究其对巴伦支海西部底栖无脊椎动物（benthic invertebrates）的形态计量学（morphometrics）指标与卵母细胞（oocyte）大小的影响，研究对象为该区域的双壳类（bivalves）物种Astarte crenata与Bathyarca glacialis。本研究受英国自然环境研究委员会（Natural Environment Research Council, NERC）资助，资助项目为“变化中的北极海底（ChAOS）——海冰条件变化如何影响生物群落、生物地球化学过程与生态系统”，项目编号为NE/N015894/1和NE/P006426/1，执行周期为2017-2021年。
