Metabolic responses to high pCO2 conditions at a CO2 vent site in juveniles o...
We are starting to understand the relationship between metabolic rate responses and species' ability to respond to exposure to high pCO2. However, most of our knowledge has come... -
Behavioral responses of brown shrimp (Crangon crangon) to reduced seawater pH...
Large-scale storage of CO2 within sub-sea geological formations is a viable option for reducing the volume of this greenhouse gas released directly to the atmosphere from... -
Insights fromsodium into the impacts of elevated pCO2 and temperature on biva...
Ocean acidification and warming are predicted to affect the ability of marine bivalves to build their shells, but little is known about the underlying mechanisms. Shell... -
The effects of hypercapnia on the West Coast rock lobster (Jasus lalandii) th...
The cold water palinurid Jasus lalandii ('West Coast rock lobster') is a commercially important crustacean in South Africa and Namibia and inhabits the Benguela Current Eastern... -
The effect of CO2 enrichment on net photosynthesis of the red alga Furcellari...
Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the atmosphere are causing reduction in the global ocean pH, also known as ocean acidification. This change alters the... -
Otolith size and the vestibulo-ocular reflex of larvae of white seabass Atrac...
We investigated vestibular function and otolith size (OS) in larvae of white seabass Atractoscion nobilis exposed to high partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2). The context for our... -
Ocean acidification alters fish-jellyfish symbiosis
Symbiotic relationships are common in nature, and are important for individual fitness and sustaining species populations. Global change is rapidly altering environmental... -
Hyperventilation and blood acid-base balance in hypercapnia exposed red drum ...
Hyperventilation is a common response in fish exposed to elevated water CO2. It is believed to lessen the respiratory acidosis associated with hypercapnia by lowering arterial... -
Effects of temperature and ocean acidification on shell characteristics of Ar...
Coastal upwelling regions already constitute hot spots of ocean acidification as naturally acidified waters are brought to the surface. This effect could be exacerbated by ocean... -
Juvenile pen shells (Pinna nobilis) tolerate acidification but are vulnerable...
In the course of this century, rising anthropogenic CO2 emissions will likely cause a decrease in ocean pH, know as ocean acidification, together with an increase of water... -
Enrichments (DIC and DOC) on the photosynthesis and calcification rates of tw...
Coral reefs worldwide are affected by increasing dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and organic carbon (DOC) concentrations due to ocean acidification (OA) and coastal... -
Ocean acidification boosts larval fish development but reduces the window of ...
Locating appropriate settlement habitat is a crucial step in the life cycle of most benthic marine animals. In marine fish, this step involves the use of multiple senses,... -
Effects of pCO2 on spatial competition between the corals Montipora aequitube...
We tested the hypothesis that ocean acidification (OA) affects spatial competition among scleractinian corals. Competitive ability was evaluated indirectly by linear extension... -
Coral pH regulation of the calcifying fluid is modulated by seawater dissolve...
Reef coral calcification depends on regulation of pH in the internal calcifying fluid in which the coral skeleton forms. However, little is known about calcifying fluid pH... -
Micro-CT analysis of the Caribbean octocoral Eunicea flexuosa subjected to el...
Rising anthropogenic carbon dioxide has resulted in a drop in ocean pH, a phenomenon known as ocean acidification (OA). These acidified waters have many ramifications for... -
A direct CO2 control system for ocean acidification experiments: testing effe...
Most ocean acidification (OA) experimental systems rely on pH as an indirect way to control CO2. However, accurate pH measurements are difficult to obtain and shifts in... -
Next-century ocean acidification and warming both reduce calcification rate, ...
Atmospheric pCO2 is predicted to rise from 400 to 900 ppm by year 2100, causing seawater temperature to increase by 1-4 °C and pH to decrease by 0.1-0.3. Sixty-day experiments... -
Long-term effects of altered pH and temperature on the feeding energetics of ...
This study investigated the effects of long-term incubation to near-future combined warming (+2 °C) and ocean acidification (-0.3 and -0.5 pH units) stressors, relative to... -
Ocean acidification affects fish spawning but not paternity at CO2 seeps
Fish exhibit impaired sensory function and altered behaviour at levels of ocean acidification expected to occur owing to anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions during this... -
Understanding cold bias: Variable response of skeletal Sr/Ca to seawater pCO2...
Coral skeletal Sr/Ca is a palaeothermometer commonly used to produce high resolution seasonal sea surface temperature (SST) records and to investigate the amplitude and...
