Have we been underestimating the effects of ocean acidification in zooplankton?
Understanding how copepods may respond to ocean acidification (OA) is critical for risk assessments of ocean ecology and biogeochemistry. The perception that copepods are... -
Diffusion boundary layers ameliorate the negative effects of ocean acidificat...
Anthropogenically-modulated reductions in pH, termed ocean acidification, could pose a major threat to the physiological performance, stocks, and biodiversity of calcifiers and... -
Temperature is the evil twin: Effects of increased temperature and ocean acid...
Reproduction in many organisms can be disrupted by changes to the physical environment, such as those predicted to occur during climate change. Marine organisms face the dual... -
Impact of ocean acidification in the metabolism and swimming behavior of the ...
Since the industrial revolution, [CO2]atm has increased from 280 µatm to levels now exceeding 380 µatm and is expected to rise to 730-1,020 µatm by the end of this century. The... -
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... -
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... -
Impacts of food availability and pCO2 on planulation, juvenile survival, and ...
Ocean acidification, the assimilation of atmospheric CO2 by the oceans that decreases the pH and CaCO3 saturation state (Omega) of seawater, is projected to have severe adverse... -
Performance of the Arctic calanoid copepods Calanus glacialis and C. hyperbor...
The sensitivity of copepods to ocean acidification (OA) and warming may increase with time, however, studies >10 days and on synergistic effects are rare. We therefore... -
Influence of sediment acidification and water flow on sediment acceptance and...
Although ocean acidification is expected to reduce carbonate saturation and yield negative impacts on open-ocean calcifying organisms in the near future, acidification in... -
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... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, fertilization and early development of the cora...
Outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS), Acanthaster planci, contribute to major declines of coral reef ecosystems throughout the Indo-Pacific. As the oceans warm and... -
Diurnal fluctuations in seawater pH influence the response of a calcifying ma...
Coastal ecosystems that are characterized by kelp forests encounter daily pH fluctuations, driven by photosynthesis and respiration, which are larger than pH changes owing to... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
Ocean acidification induces budding in larval sea urchins
Ocean acidification (OA), the reduction of ocean pH due to hydration of atmospheric CO2, is known to affect growth and survival of marine invertebrate larvae. Survival and... -
Adverse effects of ocean acidification on early development of squid (Doryteu...
Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) is being absorbed into the ocean, altering seawater chemistry, with potentially negative impacts on a wide range of marine organisms. The...
