Tough as a rock-boring urchin: adult Echinometra sp. EE from the Red Sea show...
Ocean acidification, a process caused by the continuous rise of atmospheric CO2 levels, is expected to have a profound impact on marine invertebrates. Findings of the numerous... -
Strong shift from HCO3- to CO2 uptake in Emiliania huxleyi with acidification...
Effects of ocean acidification on Emiliania huxleyi strain RCC 1216 (calcifying, diploid life-cycle stage) and RCC 1217 (non-calcifying, haploid life-cycle stage) were... -
Does seawater acidification affect survival, growth and shell integrity in bi...
Anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide are leading to decreases in pH and changes in the carbonate chemistry of seawater. Ocean acidification may negatively affect the... -
Uranium in larval shells as a barometer of molluscan ocean acidification expo...
As the ocean undergoes acidification, marine organisms will become increasingly exposed to reduced pH, yet variability in many coastal settings complicates our ability to... -
Juvenile sea stars exposed to acidification decrease feeding and growth with ...
Precise measurements were conducted in continuous flow seawater mesocosms located in full sunlight that compared metabolic response of coral, coral-macroalgae and macroalgae... -
Coral calcification under daily oxygen saturation and pH dynamics reveals the...
Coral reefs are essential to many nations, and are currently in global decline. Although climate models predict decreases in seawater pH (0.3 units) and oxygen saturation (5... -
Effects of ocean acidification on population dynamics and community structure...
Calcification and growth of crustose coralline algae (CCA) are affected by elevated seawater pCO2 and associated changes in carbonate chemistry. However, the effects of ocean... -
Spatial community shift from hard to soft corals in acidified water
Anthropogenic increases in the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) cause ocean acidification, declining calcium carbonate saturation states, reduced coral reef calcification and... -
Detection of a variable intracellular acid-labile carbon pool in Thalassiosir...
Accumulation of an intracellular pool of carbon (C(i) pool) is one strategy by which marine algae overcome the low abundance of dissolved CO2 (CO2 (aq) ) in modern seawater. To... -
Parental exposure to elevated pCO2 influences the reproductive success of cop...
Substantial variations are reported for egg production and hatching rates of copepods exposed to elevated carbon dioxide concentrations (pCO2). One possible explanation, as... -
Have we been underestimating the effects of ocean acidification in zooplankton?
Understanding how copepods may respond to ocean acidification (OA) is critical for risk assessments of ocean ecology and biogeochemistry. The perception that copepods are... -
Proteomic and metabolomic responses of Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas to el...
The gradually increased atmospheric CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) has thrown the carbonate chemistry off balance and resulted in decreased seawater pH in marine ecosystem, termed... -
Diffusion boundary layers ameliorate the negative effects of ocean acidificat...
Anthropogenically-modulated reductions in pH, termed ocean acidification, could pose a major threat to the physiological performance, stocks, and biodiversity of calcifiers and... -
Temperature is the evil twin: Effects of increased temperature and ocean acid...
Reproduction in many organisms can be disrupted by changes to the physical environment, such as those predicted to occur during climate change. Marine organisms face the dual... -
Effects of increasing seawater carbon dioxide concentrations on chain formati...
Diatoms can occur as single cells or as chain-forming aggregates. These two strategies affect buoyancy, predator evasion, light absorption and nutrient uptake. Adjacent cells in... -
Shallow water marine sediment bacterial community shifts along a natural CO2 ...
The effects of increasing atmospheric CO(2) on ocean ecosystems are a major environmental concern, as rapid shoaling of the carbonate saturation horizon is exposing vast areas... -
The response of Antarctic sea ice algae to changes in pH and CO2
Ocean acidification substantially alters ocean carbon chemistry and hence pH but the effects on sea ice formation and the CO2 concentration in the enclosed brine channels are... -
Multiple stressor effects of near-future elevated seawater temperature and de...
Warming seawater temperatures and ocean acidification on the coastal western Antarctic Peninsula pose unique challenges to stenothermal marine invertebrates. The present study... -
