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... -
Impact of elevated pCO2 on acid-base regulation of the sea urchin Echinometra...
Due to their low metabolism and apparent poor ion regulation ability, sea urchins could be particularly sensitive to ocean acidification resulting from increased dissolution of... -
Ocean acidification impairs vermetid reef recruitment
Vermetids form reefs in sub-tropical and warm-temperate waters that protect coasts from erosion, regulate sediment transport and accumulation, serve as carbon sinks and provide... -
Acid-base physiology response to ocean acidification of two ecologically and ...
Sea cucumbers are dominant invertebrates in several ecosystems such as coral reefs, seagrass meadows and mangroves. As bioturbators, they have an important ecological role in... -
Euechinoidea and Cidaroidea respond differently to ocean acidification
The impact of the chemical changes in the ocean waters due to the increasing atmospheric CO2 depends on the ability of an organism to control extracellular pH. Among sea... -
Impact of medium-term exposure to elevated pCO2 levels on the physiological e...
This study evaluated the impact of medium-term exposure to elevated pCO2 levels (750-1200 ppm) on the physiological processes of juvenile Mytilus chilensis mussels over a period... -
Effects of hypercapnia on aspects of feeding, nutrition, and growth in the ed...
Land-based aquaculture facilities experience occasional hypercapnic conditions due to the accumulation of the metabolic waste product carbon dioxide. Pre-gonadal Lytechinus... -
Geographical variation in shell morphology of juvenile snails (Concholepas co...
Changes in phenotypic traits, such as mollusc shells, are indicative of variations in selective pressure along environmental gradients. Recently, increased sea surface... -
Bioturbation determines the response of benthic ammonia-oxidizing microorgani...
Ocean acidification (OA), caused by the dissolution of increasing concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in seawater, is projected to cause significant changes to... -
Effects of high temperature and CO2 on intracellular DMSP in the cold-water c...
Significant warming and acidification of the oceans is projected to occur by the end of the century. CO2 vents, areas of upwelling and downwelling, and potential leaks from... -
Ocean acidification affects growth but not nutritional quality of the seaweed...
Understanding the ecological implications of global climate change requires investigations of not only the direct effects of environmental change on species performance but also... -
The effects of thermal and high-CO2 stresses on the metabolism and surroundin...
The effects of elevated temperature and high pCO2 on the metabolism of Galaxea fascicularis were studied with oxygen and pH microsensors. Photosynthesis and respiration rates... -
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... -
Elevated CO2 levels do not affect the shell structure of the bivalve Arctica ...
Shells of the bivalve Arctica islandica are used to reconstruct paleo-environmental conditions (e.g. temperature) via biogeochemical proxies, i.e. biogenic components that are... -
The photo-physiological response of a model cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosi...
We measured the relationship between CO2-induced seawater acidification, photo-physiological performance and intracellular pH (pHi) in a model cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis... -
Carbonate chemistry, community metabolism, PAR, temperature and salinity of O...
There are few in situ studies showing how net community calcification (Gnet) of coral reefs is related to carbonate chemistry, and the studies to date have demonstrated... -
The influence of seawater pH on U/ Ca ratios in the scleractinian cold-water ...
The increasing pCO2 in seawater is a serious threat for marine calcifiers and alters the biogeochemistry of the ocean. Therefore, the reconstruction of past-seawater properties... -
Calcification of the Arctic coralline red algae Lithothamnion glaciale in res...
Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations could cause a calcium carbonate subsaturation of Arctic surface waters in the next 20 yr, making these waters corrosive for calcareous... -
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... -
Ocean acidification outweighs nutrient effects in structuring seagrass epiphy...
Developing a framework for assessing interactions between multiple anthropogenic stressors remains an important goal in environmental research. In coastal ecosystems, the...
