Title
ArCeph: Tracking impacts of climate change in the Arctic marine ecosystems through cephalopod diversity and life histories
General information
Studying cephalopods to deal with the climate change in the Arctic - The impact of climate change on polar areas imposes quick and efficient interventions. A more accurate ecological monitoring in the Arctic can lead to more rational management of the marine ecosystems and hopefully a limitation of the climate change impact. More specifically, the study of Cephalopoda (Phylum Mollusca), whose characteristics suggest their potential to survive climate change, appears to be promising. By implementing traditional and novel methodologies, the EU-funded ArCeph project investigates the biodiversity, the historical background and the ecological role of cephalopods in the Arctic and their ontogenetic and temporary changes in the climate change context.
