Temperature Dependent Effects of Elevated CO2 on Shell Composition and Mechan...
The majority of marine benthic invertebrates protect themselves from predators by producing calcareous tubes or shells that have remarkable mechanical strength. An elevation of... -
Experiment: Acidified seawater impacts sea urchin larvae pH regulatory system...
Calcifying echinoid larvae respond to changes in seawater carbonate chemistry with reduced growth and developmental delay. To date, no information exists on how ocean... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and proportion of different dissolution levels i...
The carbonate chemistry of the surface ocean is rapidly changing with ocean acidification, a result of human activities. In the upper layers of the Southern Ocean, aragonite-a... -
Effects of pre-hatching pCO2 on development and survival of zoea stages of Ar...
Sensitivity of marine crustaceans to anthropogenic CO2 emissions and the associated acidification of the oceans may be less than that of other, especially lower, invertebrates.... -
Predominance of heavily calcified coccolithophores at low CaCO3 saturation du...
Coccolithophores are an important component of the Earth system, and, as calcifiers, their possible susceptibility to ocean acidification is of major concern. Laboratory studies... -
Effects of ocean acidification on respiration, growth and C:N ratio of arctic...
Early life stages of marine crustaceans respond sensitively to elevated seawater PCO2. However, the underlying physiological mechanisms have not been studied well. We therefore... -
Response of benthic foraminifera to ocean acidification in their natural sedi...
Calcifying foraminifera are expected to be endangered by ocean acidification; however, the response of a complete community kept in natural sediment and over multiple... -
Stress-tolerant corals of Florida Bay are vulnerable to ocean acidification
In situ calcification measurements tested the hypothesis that corals from environments (Florida Bay, USA) that naturally experience large swings in pCO2 and pH will be tolerant... -
Impact of changing carbonate chemistry, temperature, and salinity on growth a...
The present study investigated the combined effects of ocean acidification, temperature, and salinity on growth and test degradation of Ammonia aomoriensis. This species is one... -
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... -
Gene expression changes in the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi after 500 ge...
Coccolithophores are unicellular marine algae that produce biogenic calcite scales and substantially contribute to marine primary production and carbon export to the deep ocean.... -
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... -
Synergistic effects of ocean acidification and warming on overwintering ptero...
Ocean acidification and warming will be most pronounced in the Arctic Ocean. Aragonite shell-bearing pteropods in the Arctic are expected to be among the first species to suffer... -
Environmental controls on the Emiliania huxleyi calcite mass
Although ocean acidification is expected to impact (bio)calcification by decreasing the seawater carbonate ion concentration, [CO3]2-, there exists evidence of non-uniform... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, physiology and skeletal mineralogy of coralline...
Marine organisms inhabiting environments where pCO2/pH varies naturally are suggested to be relatively resilient to future ocean acidification. To test this hypothesis, the... -
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... -
Marine bivalve shell geochemistry and ultrastructure from modern low pH envir...
In order to allow full comparability with other ocean acidification data sets, the R package seacarb (Lavigne and Gattuso, 2011) was used to compute a complete and consistent... -
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... -
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...
