 I look at how starfish from Antarctica, Australia and New Zealand respond to climate change. So I'm really interested in the idea that if species from Antarctica respond to climate change in a certain way can we use their responses to predict how starfish from other environments are going to respond and if we can, what does that mean for how we look at their place in the whole ecosystem especially in our coastal waters around New Zealand? Starfish are so important. They eat dead things so they're really important in recycling organic matter through the food webs and in places like Antarctica where there's not that much food around that's such an important function in the ecosystem. I really hope that all the starfish are going to be fine, like they're going to be able to deal with everything we throw at them and they're going to continue to do exactly what they're doing with no problems but in reality that's probably not the case. So I think that temperature increasing around our coastal waters in New Zealand is going to interrupt their feeding cycle and it's going to mess with their metabolism and it's going to disrupt how they raise their babies and how they grow and develop in warmer waters. It's perhaps not so good as it is at the moment.
