Climate change: life in ocean ‘twilight zone’ at risk from warming
Scientists found the vital habitat was home to far less life during warmer times on Earth …
“The rich variety of twilight zone life evolved in the last few million years, when ocean waters had cooled enough to act rather like a fridge, preserving the food for longer, and improving conditions allowing life to thrive,” said Dr Katherine Crichton, from the University of Exeter, who was the lead author of the study.
