Natural high pCO2 increases autotrophy in Anemonia viridis (Anthozoa) as reve...
Contemporary cnidarian-algae symbioses are challenged by increasing CO2 concentrations (ocean warming and acidification) affecting organisms' biological performance. We examined... -
Secondary calcification and dissolution respond differently to future ocean c...
Climate change threatens both the accretion and erosion processes that sustain coral reefs. Secondary calcification, bioerosion, and reef dissolution are integral to the... -
Seaweed fails to prevent ocean acidification impact on foraminifera along a s...
Ocean acidification causes biodiversity loss, alters ecosystems, and may impact food security, as shells of small organisms dissolve easily in corrosive waters. There is a... -
CO2-driven decrease in pH disrupts olfactory behaviour and increases individu...
Deep-sea species are generally thought to be less tolerant of environmental variation than shallow-living species due to the relatively stable conditions in deep waters for most... -
Saturating light and not increased carbon dioxide under ocean acidification d...
Carbon physiology of a genetically identified Ulva rigida was investigated under different CO2(aq) and light levels. The study was designed to answer whether (1) light or... -
First evidence of altered sensory quality in a shellfish exposed to decreased...
Understanding how seafood will be influenced by coming environmental changes such as ocean acidification is a research priority. One major gap in knowledge relates to the fact... -
Impact of ocean acidification and warming on the Mediterranean mussel (Mytilu...
In order to assess the effects of ocean acidification and warming on the Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis), specimens were reared in aquarium tanks and exposed to... -
Coral calcifying fluid pH dictates response to ocean acidification
Ocean acidification driven by rising levels of CO2 impairs calcification, threatening coral reef growth. Predicting how corals respond to CO2 requires a better understanding of... -
Ocean acidification rapidly reduces dinitrogen fixation associated with the h...
Since productivity and growth of coral-associated dinoflagellate algae is nitrogen (N)-limited, dinitrogen (N2) fixation by coral-associated microbes is likely crucial for... -
Escape performance of temperate king scallop, Pecten maximus under ocean warm...
Among bivalves, scallops are exceptional due to their capacity to escape from predators by swimming which is provided by rapid and strong claps that are produced by the phasic... -
Adaptation and acclimatization to ocean acidification in marine ectotherms: a...
In order to allow full comparability with other ocean acidification data sets, the R package seacarb (Lavigne et al, 2014) was used to compute a complete and consistent set of... -
Distribution of sea urchins living near shallow water CO2 vents is dependent ...
In order to allow full comparability with other ocean acidification data sets, the R package seacarb (Lavigne et al, 2014) was used to compute a complete and consistent set of... -
Relative sensitivity of soft-bottom intertidal macrofauna to increased CO2 an...
We used a controlled CO2 perturbation experiment to test hypotheses about changes in diversity, composition and structure of soft-bottom intertidal macrobenthic assemblages,... -
One size fits all: stability of metabolic scaling under warming and ocean aci...
Responses by marine species to ocean acidification (OA) have recently been shown to be modulated by external factors including temperature, food supply and salinity. However the... -
Empirical Evidence Reveals Seasonally Dependent Reduction in Nitrification in...
Research so far has provided little evidence that benthic biogeochemical cycling is affected by ocean acidification under realistic climate change scenarios. We measured... -
Bicarbonate uptake via an anion exchange protein is the main mechanism of ino...
Macrocystis pyrifera is a widely distributed, highly productive, seaweed. It is known to use bicarbonate (HCO3-) from seawater in photosynthesis and the main mechanism of... -
Could the acid-base status of Antarctic sea urchins indicate a better-than-ex...
Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration alters the chemistry of the oceans towards more acidic conditions. Polar oceans are particularly affected due to their low... -
Nutrient availability affects the response of the calcifying chlorophyte Hali...
Atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions cause a decrease in the pH and aragonite saturation state of surface ocean water. As a result, calcifying organisms are expected to suffer... -
Interactions among chronic and acute impacts on coral recruits: the importanc...
Newly settled recruits typically suffer high mortality from disturbances, but rapid growth reduces their mortality once size-escape thresholds are attained. Ocean acidification... -
Grazing under experimental hypercapnia and elevated temperature does not affe...
Chitons (class Polyplacophora) are benthic grazing molluscs with an eight-part aragonitic shell armature. The radula, a serial tooth ribbon that extends internally more than...
