Devoted to a study published in the journal Science.
In the case of marine ecosystems, the researchers predicted features of organisms, which will be the first victims of extinction. Among them — the largest inhabitants of the oceans.
A tenfold increase of body weight, as shown by scientists, leads to an increase in the probability of extinction of the species in 13 or more times. The main reason for the possible extinction of animal biologists call an anthropogenic factor.
