Disease causes population collapse of sunflower sea stars
- "Global warming due to a changing atmosphere is likely a major factor. “The heat wave in the oceans – a product of increasing atmospheric temperatures – is exacerbating the sea star wasting disease,” said Harvell, a fellow at Cornell’s Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future. “It’s a lethal disease, and when you add a higher temperature to that, it kills faster, causing a bigger impact.” - Excerpt from Cornell Chronicle.
