Invertebrates and Ocean Mixing - De-Natured

The video explores a study on the impact of zooplankton on ocean mixing, highlighting their significant role in the distribution of carbon and oxygen. The research involved lab experiments using brine shrimp to simulate zooplankton behavior, revealing that these organisms can mix water much more efficiently than previously thought. The study's findings have implications for climate models, emphasizing the importance of including zooplankton in calculations. However, the study's lab-based nature raises questions about its applicability to real-world ocean conditions.

Discuss the implications of zooplankton movements on climate change models as mentioned in the text.

What challenges do scientists face when trying to observe zooplankton migration in natural ocean settings?

Why is it important to understand the role of invertebrates in ocean ecosystems?
