Respiratory responses of octopuses to ocean acidification
Meeting Abstract 108-4 Thursday, Jan. 7 09:00 Respiratory responses of octopuses to ocean acidification ONTHANK, K.L.; Walla Walla University Kirt.Onthank@wallawalla.edu http://people.wallawalla.edu/~kirt.onthank/ Cephalopods are active, mobile predators that are physiological convergent with vertebrates, despite using molluscan physiological components. To achieve oxygen loading/unloading dynamics similar to vertebrate hemoglobins, cephalopod hemocyanins exhibit a pronounced Bohr effect. This could potentially lead […]
