Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Amy L Moran"
- Amy L Moran's research primarily focuses on the ecological impacts of climate change on marine organisms, particularly in the Antarctic region, where she investigates phenomena such as sea star wasting syndrome and the respiratory adaptations of sea spiders.
- Her work reveals critical findings regarding the recent outbreaks of sea star wasting syndrome in McMurdo Sound and explores the broader implications for benthic community structure and dynamics in response to changing environmental conditions.
- Moran also critically examines the oxygen-temperature hypothesis associated with polar gigantism, contributing to the understanding of how respiratory structures and environmental factors limit body size in Antarctic pycnogonids while advancing phylogenomic insights into sea spider diversification.
