| Description: |
Changes in global climate patterns are affecting marine ecosystems, challenging species' environmental tolerances, and driving shifts in their distributions. In the Baltic Sea, a brackish water body with low biodiversity, the isopod Idotea balthica is a key herbivore species that has a strong top-down effect on habitat-forming macrophytes. The aim of this scientific study is to understand how the predicted future combination of hyposalinity and warming will affect the survival of this mesograzer throughout the Baltic Sea.
