Seawater carbonate chemistry and effects of ocean acidification and wariming ...
Ocean acidification and warming (OAW) are pressing contemporary issues affecting marine life and specifically calcifying organisms. Here, we investigated the direct effects of... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and sperm swimming performance and pHi in the Ne...
In sea urchins, spermatozoa are stored in the gonads in hypercapnic conditions (pH<7.0). During spawning, sperm are diluted in seawater of pH>8.0, and there is an... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and sperm physiology in Mytilus galloprovincialis
The ongoing increase of CO2 in the atmosphere is inducing a progressive lowering of marine water pH that is predicted to decrease to 7.8 by the end of this century. In marine... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and sea urchin reproductive performance
Ocean acidification (OA) is predicted to be a major driver of ocean biodiversity change. At projected rates of change, sensitive marine taxa may not have time to adapt. Their... -
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... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and sperm swimming speed of the polychaete Galeo...
The rapidity of ocean acidification intensifies selection pressure for resilient phenotypes, particularly during sensitive early life stages. The scope for selection is greater... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and sperm swimming speed, fertilization success ...
Background: Climate change will lead to intense selection on many organisms, particularly during susceptible early life stages. To date, most studies on the likely biotic...
