Adaptive evolution of a key phytoplankton species to ocean acidification
Ocean acidification, the drop in seawater pH associated with the ongoing enrichment of marine waters with carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning, may seriously impair marine... -
Phenotypic plasticity of coralline algae in a High CO2 world
It is important to understand how marine calcifying organisms may acclimatize to ocean acidification to assess their survival over the coming century. We cultured the cold water... -
Ocean acidification induces multi-generational decline in copepod naupliar pr...
Climate change, including ocean acidification (OA), presents fundamental challenges to marine biodiversity and sustained ecosystem health. We determined reproductive response... -
Experiment: Marine fungi may benefit from ocean acidification
Recent studies have discussed the consequences of ocean acidification for bacterial processes and diversity. However, the decomposition of complex substrates in marine... -
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... -
Ocean acidification accelerates reef bioerosion
In the recent discussion how biotic systems may react to ocean acidification caused by the rapid rise in carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO2) in the marine realm, substantial... -
Effects of ocean acidification and global warming on reef bioerosion-lessons ...
Coral reefs are under threat, exerted by a number of interacting effects inherent to the present climate change, including ocean acidification and global warming. Bioerosion... -
Sponge bioerosion accelerated by ocean acidification across species and latit...
In many marine biogeographic realms, bioeroding sponges dominate the internal bioerosion of calcareous substrates such as mollusc beds and coral reef framework. They... -
Reduced calcification and lack of acclimatization by coral colonies growing i...
As the surface ocean equilibrates with rising atmospheric CO2, the pH of surface seawater is decreasing with potentially negative impacts on coral calcification. A critical... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, respiration, maximum photochemical efficiency a...
To evaluate the effects of temperature and pCO2 on coral larvae, brooded larvae of Pocillopora damicornis from Nanwan Bay, Taiwan (21°56.179' N, 120°44.85' E), were exposed to... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, physiology, morphology of larval sea urchins, S...
Ocean warming and ocean acidification, both consequences of anthropogenic production of CO2, will combine to influence the physiological performance of many species in the... -
Microenvironmental changes support evidence of photosynthesis and calcificati...
The effects of elevated CO2 and temperature on photosynthesis and calcification of two important calcifying reef algae (Halimeda macroloba and Halimeda cylindracea) were... -
Elevated CO2 alters larval proteome and its phosphorylation status in the com...
Ocean acidification (OA) is beginning to have noticeable negative impact on calcification rate, shell structure and physiological energy budgeting of several marine organisms;... -
Larval development of the barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus responds variably ...
Increasing atmospheric CO2 decreases seawater pH in a phenomenon known as ocean acidification. In two separate experiments we found that larval development of the barnacle... -
Tolerance of juvenile barnacles (Amphibalanus improvisus) to warming and elev...
We investigated the impacts of warming and elevated pCO2 on newly settled Amphibalanus improvisus from Kiel Fjord, an estuarine ecosystem characterized by significant natural... -
Habitat traits and food availability determine the response of marine inverte...
Energy availability and local adaptation are major components in mediating the effects of ocean acidification (OA) on marine species. In a long-term study, we investigated the... -
Impacts of ocean warming and acidification on the larval development of the b...
The world's oceans are warming and becoming more acidic. Both stressors, singly or in combination, impact marine species, and ensuing effects might be particularly serious for... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, biomass and metabolic rates (leucine incorporat...
Experimental results related to the effects of ocean acidification on planktonic marine microbes are still rather inconsistent and occasionally contradictory. Moreover,... -
Effects of CO2 enrichment on photosynthesis, growth, and nitrogen metabolism ...
Seagrass ecosystems are expected to benefit from the global increase in CO2 in the ocean because the photosynthetic rate of these plants may be Ci-limited at the current CO2... -
CO2-driven ocean acidification alters and weakens integrity of the calcareous...
As a consequence of anthropogenic CO2-driven ocean acidification (OA), coastal waters are becoming increasingly challenging for calcifiers due to reductions in saturation states...
