About This Project
Shells defend marine snails from crab predators, but it is difficult to produce shells with ocean acidification because there are fewer building blocks available in the water. I will test snails' abilities to defend themselves in acidified water and find out what types of snails are most resilient. We know very little about how climate change will alter predator-prey relationships, so this will help us predict changes in marine communities and manage and conserve snail populations.
