Arkansas (US): The frequency of fish die-offs, or mass mortality events, has increased as the planet's climate has warmed. These die-offs can have serious consequences for ecosystem function, endanger existing fish populations, and reduce global food supply. And the frequency of these events appears to be increasing, with potentially disastrous consequences for the world if global carbon emissions are not significantly reduced by the end of the twenty-first century.
That is the conclusion of a recent paper co-authored by two members of the University of Arkansas Department of Biological Sciences: doctoral student Simon Tye and associate professor Adam Siepielski, as well as several of their colleagues.
