Sharks are known for their razor-sharp teeth, but a new study warns that rising ocean acidity could leave even the sea’s fiercest predators with weaker, more brittle bites. At the heart of the problem ...
Behind the shark's smile lies an unsuspected fragility: the increasing acidity of the oceans is eroding the structure of their teeth, eventually cracking, deforming, and causing them to fall out. Here ...
Shark teeth might be the next casualty in the climate change saga: A new study suggests ocean acidification could leave these apex predators with a serious dental crisis. Researchers found that as ...
Increasingly acidic oceans will damage sharks' teeth, according to a new study. It could threaten their ability to hunt - and the entire underwater ecosystem.
Climate change is causing the oceans to become notably more acidic. This could become a problem for sharks, as a team of biologists headed by Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) has discovered.
