Abstract

Die Reduzierung der Körpergröße innerhalb von Taxa wird als eine der wichtigsten Antworten in Hinblick auf klimaabhängigen Stressfaktoren gesehen. Trotz der üblichen Deutungen bei ähnlichen Größenveränderungen im Umfeld verschiedener Massenaussterbeereignisse werden ihre globale Bedeutung ebenso wie ihre damit verbunden Mechanismen diese Lilliput-Effekts nach wie vor kontrovers diskutiert. Das Projekt hat zum Ziel, die Rolle der Erwärmung und damit verbundener Stressfaktoren (Anoxia) in Hinblick auf Größenänderungen von marinen Organismen während der unterjurassischen Faunenkrise im Toarcium zu verstehen. Wir betrachten Cephalopoden aus W-Europa und NW-Afrika entlang eines N/S-Gradienten, um Größenverteilungsmuster von einzelnen Taxa bis zu Vergesellschaftungen zu untersuchen. Die erhaltenen Muster werden in Hinblick auf Fazies, physiko-chemische Proxies und physiologische Vorhersagen gründlich analysiert, um die Korrelation von Körpergröße und Umweltparametern, wie Temperatur, Sauerstoffverfügbarkeit und Produktion/Einlagerung von organischem Kohlenstoff zu testen

Abstract

Combined with local and regional anthropogenic factors, current human-induced climate warming is thought to be a major threat to biodiversity. The ecological imprint of climate change is already visible on land and in the oceans. The imprint is largely manifested in demographic/abundance changes and phenological and distribution shifts, whereas only local extinctions are yet attributable to climate change with some confidence. This is expected to change in the near future owing to direct heat stress, shortage of food, mismatches in the timing of seasonal activities, geographic barriers to migration, and new biological interactions. Additional stressors are associated with climate warming in marine systems, namely acidification and deoxygenation. Ocean acidification is caused by the ocean's absorption of CO2 and deoxygenation is a result of warmer water, increased ocean stratification and upwelling of hypoxic waters. The combination of warming, acidification and deoxygenation is known as the "deadly trio". Temperature is the most pervasive environmental factor shaping the functional characteristics and limits to life and is also central to the generation and biological effects of hypoxic waters and to modulating the effects of ocean acidification, with and without concomitant hypoxia. Due to the key role of temperature in the interaction of the three drivers we termed these temperature-related stressors (TRS).
