New study examines how ocean energy impacts life in the deep seaDurham NC (SPX) Sep 10, 2012 A new study of deep-sea species across the globe aims to understand how natural gradients in food and temperature in the dark, frigid waters of the deep sea affect the snails, clams, and other creatures that live there. Similar studies have been conducted for animals in the shallow oceans, but our understanding of the impact of food and temperature on life in the deep sea - the Earth's largest and most remote ecosystem - has been more limited. The results will help scientists understand what to ex ... read more |
