Acclimatization of the crustose coralline alga Porolithon onkodes to variable...
Ocean acidification (OA) has important implications for the persistence of coral reef ecosystems, due to potentially negative effects on biomineralization. Many coral reefs are... -
Mixed effects of elevated pCO2 on fertilisation, larval and juvenile developm...
Ocean acidification is predicted to have severe consequences for calcifying marine organisms especially molluscs. Recent studies, however, have found that molluscs in marine... -
CO2-induced ocean acidification increases anxiety in Rockfish via alteration ...
The average surface pH of the ocean is dropping at a rapid rate due to the dissolution of anthropogenic CO2, raising concerns for marine life. Additionally, some coastal areas... -
Effects of light and elevated pCO2 on the growth and photochemical efficiency...
The effects of light and elevated pCO2 on the growth and photochemical efficiency of the critically endangered staghorn coral, Acropora cervicornis, were examined... -
Impacts of groundwater discharge at Myora Springs (North Stradbroke Island, A...
Myora Springs is one of many groundwater discharge sites on North Stradbroke Island (Queensland, Australia). Here spring waters emerge from wetland forests to join Moreton Bay,... -
Effect of increased pCO2 level on early shell development in great scallop (P...
As a result of high anthropogenic CO2 emissions, the concentration of CO2 in the oceans has increased, causing a decrease in pH, known as ocean acidification (OA). Numerous... -
Ocean acidification has no effect on thermal bleaching in the coral Seriatopo...
The objective of this study was to test whether elevated pCO2 predicted for the year 2100 (85.1 Pa) affects bleaching in the coral Seriatopora caliendrum (Ehrenberg 1834) either... -
Coral energy reserves and calcification in a high-CO2 world at two temperatures
Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations threaten coral reefs globally by causing ocean acidification (OA) and warming. Yet, the combined effects of elevated pCO2 and temperature... -
Acid-base regulation in the Dungeness crab (Metacarcinus magister)
Homeostatic regulation allows organisms to secure basic physiological processes in a varying environment. To counteract fluctuations in ambient carbonate system speciation due... -
The responses of eight coral reef calcifiers to increasing partial pressure o...
The objective of this study was to investigate whether a tipping point exists in the calcification responses of coral reef calcifiers to CO2. We compared the effects of six... -
CO2-induced fertilization impairment in Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis col...
Fertilization depends on distribution and aggregation patterns of sea urchins which influence gamete contact time and may potentially enhance their vulnerability to ocean... -
Elevated CO2 affects the behavior of an ecologically and economically importa...
We tested the effect of near-future CO2 levels (= 490, 570, 700, and 960 µatm CO2) on the olfactory responses and activity levels of juvenile coral trout, Plectropomus... -
Selective mortality associated with variation in CO2 tolerance in a marine fish
Predicted future CO2 levels can affect reproduction, growth, and behaviour of many marine organisms. However, the capacity of species to adapt to predicted changes in ocean... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, thickness and carbonate elemental composition o...
Ocean surface CO2 levels are increasing in line with rising atmospheric CO2 and could exceed 900 µatm by year 2100, with extremes above 2000 µatm in some coastal habitats. The... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, thickness and carbonate elemental composition o...
Continuous anthropogenic CO2 emissions to the atmosphere and uptake by the oceans will cause a reduction of seawater pH and saturation state (Omega) of CaCO3 minerals from which... -
Pacific-wide contrast highlights resistance of reef calcifiers to ocean acidi...
Ocean acidification (OA) and its associated decline in calcium carbonate saturation states is one of the major threats that tropical coral reefs face this century. Previous... -
Fast coral reef calcifiers are more sensitive to ocean acidification in short...
To identify the properties of taxa sensitive and resistant to ocean acidification (OA), we tested the hypothesis that coral reef calcifiers differ in their sensitivity to OA as... -
The influence of temperature and seawater carbonate saturation state on 13C-1...
The shells of marine mollusks are widely used archives of past climate and ocean chemistry. Whilst the measurement of mollusk delta 18O to develop records of past climate change... -
Photosynthate translocation increases in response to low seawater pH in a cor...
This study has examined the effect of low seawater pH values (induced by an increased CO2 partial pressure) on the rates of photosynthesis, as well as on the carbon budget and... -
Whole transcriptome analysis of the coral Acropora millepora reveals complex ...
The impact of ocean acidification (OA) on coral calcification, a subject of intense current interest, is poorly understood in part because of the presence of symbionts in adult...
