Today is #worldmantaday and we are throwing back to our episode all about cloacal diving! Guest @emilyyeager9.bsky.social spoke to us about these amazing animals and how symbiosis may be a bit more complicated than you think! Did you know that manta are basically mobile ecosystems? Check out our ep!
![Conceptual depiction of the potential role of ramping rate on the responses of organisms to climate change experiments. The baseline response represents the level of response under controlled (ambient) experimental conditions (e.g. temperature). We hypothesize, following [22], that sudden exposure (i.e. no ramping period; black curve) to novel experimental conditions will elicit a strong response, while increasingly long ramping periods (= horizontal bars below the baseline and curves in shades of green) will alter the shape of the response curve. The red arrow indicates the start of the experimental period; the red dots suggest times when responses might be recorded. The response axis could reflect increasingly positive or increasingly negative responses. The shapes of the response curves are hypothetical but serve to demonstrate that the response to the novel experimental condition might change depending on ramping rate.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ywwbhwuq4sszjve7kdshnahd/bafkreiaw4eqwaq7e2mci6txvfg37j4pp572io4zt2virflaap4h52ofuwa)
