Enhancement of photosynthetic carbon assimilation efficiency by phytoplankton...
A mesocosm experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of future climate conditions on photosynthesis and productivity of coastal phytoplankton. Natural phytoplankton... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and larval development and settlement of the sea...
We studied the effects of temperature and pH on larval development, settlement and juvenile survival of a Mediterranean population of the sea urchin Arbacia lixula. Three... -
Effects of Ocean Acidification and Warming on Sperm Activity and Early Life S...
Larval stages are among those most vulnerable to ocean acidification (OA). Projected atmospheric CO2 levels for the end of this century may lead to negative impacts on... -
Impact of elevated levels of CO2 on animal mediated ecosystem function: The m...
A mesocosm experiment was conducted to quantify the relationships between the presence and body size of two burrowing heart urchins (Brissopsis lyrifera and Echinocardium... -
Responses of the Emiliania huxleyi Proteome to Ocean Acidification
Ocean acidification due to rising atmospheric CO2 is expected to affect the physiology of important calcifying marine organisms, but the nature and magnitude of change is yet to... -
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...
