- Ocean acidification could be shrinking squid brains
A study by Garett Allen and Yung-Che Tseng found that ocean acidification may cause bigfin reef squid brains to shrink by up to 50% in acidic water conditions projected for 2100. The research revealed reduced brain volume, particularly in visually-oriented regions, which could impair hunting behavior due to decreased visual acuity.
