Acute survivorship of the deep-sea coral Lophelia pertusa from the Gulf of Me...
Changing global climate due to anthropogenic emissions of CO2 are driving rapid changes in the physical and chemical environment of the oceans via warming, deoxygenation, and... -
Acid-base balance and changes in haemolymph properties of the South African r...
Few studies exist reporting on long-term exposure of crustaceans to hypercapnia. We exposed juvenile South African rock lobsters, Jasus lalandii, to hypercapnic conditions of pH... -
Effects of ocean acidification caused by rising CO2 on the early development ...
Increasing atmospheric CO2 can decrease seawater pH and carbonate ions, which may adversely affect the larval survival of calcareous animals. In this study, we simulated future... -
Physiological advantages of dwarfing in surviving extinctions in high-CO2 oceans
Excessive CO2 in the present-day ocean-atmosphere system is causing ocean acidification, and is likely to cause a severe biodiversity decline in the future, mirroring effects in... -
Effects of CO2 and iron availability on rbcL gene expression in Bering Sea di...
Iron (Fe) can limit phytoplankton productivity in approximately 40% of the global ocean, including in high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll (HNLC) waters. However, there is little... -
Effect of acidification on an Arctic phytoplankton community from Disko Bay, ...
Long-term measurements (i.e. months) of in situ pH have not previously been reported from the Arctic; this study shows fluctuations between pH 7.5 and 8.3 during the spring... -
Photochemical responses of the diatom Skeletonema costatum grown under elevat...
Variability in pH is a common occurrence in many aquatic environments, due to physical, chemical and biological processes. In coastal waters, lagoons, estuaries and inland... -
Physiological responses and scope for growth upon medium-term exposure to the...
Physiological responses (ingestion rate, absorption rate and efficiency, respiration, rate, excretion rate) and scope for growth of a subtidal scavenging gastropod Nassarius... -
Combined metabolome and proteome analysis of the mantle tissue from Pacific o...
Ocean acidification (OA) has been found to affect an array of normal physiological processes in mollusks, especially posing a significant threat to the fabrication process of... -
Natural high pCO2 increases autotrophy in Anemonia viridis (Anthozoa) as reve...
Contemporary cnidarian-algae symbioses are challenged by increasing CO2 concentrations (ocean warming and acidification) affecting organisms' biological performance. We examined... -
Secondary calcification and dissolution respond differently to future ocean c...
Climate change threatens both the accretion and erosion processes that sustain coral reefs. Secondary calcification, bioerosion, and reef dissolution are integral to the... -
Seaweed fails to prevent ocean acidification impact on foraminifera along a s...
Ocean acidification causes biodiversity loss, alters ecosystems, and may impact food security, as shells of small organisms dissolve easily in corrosive waters. There is a... -
The effects of elevated CO2 on the growth and toxicity of field populations a...
The effects of coastal acidification on the growth and toxicity of the saxitoxin-producing dinoflagellate Alexandrium fundyense were examined in culture and ecosystem studies.... -
CO2-driven decrease in pH disrupts olfactory behaviour and increases individu...
Deep-sea species are generally thought to be less tolerant of environmental variation than shallow-living species due to the relatively stable conditions in deep waters for most... -
Mesozooplankton community development at elevated CO2
The increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere caused by burning fossil fuels leads to increasing pCO2 and decreasing pH in the world ocean. These changes may have severe... -
First evidence of altered sensory quality in a shellfish exposed to decreased...
Understanding how seafood will be influenced by coming environmental changes such as ocean acidification is a research priority. One major gap in knowledge relates to the fact... -
Shell condition and survival of Puget Sound pteropods are impaired by ocean a...
We tested whether the thecosome pteropod Limacina helicina from Puget Sound, an urbanized estuary in the northwest continental US, experiences shell dissolution and altered... -
Effects of elevated CO2 on fish behaviour undiminished by transgenerational a...
Behaviour and sensory performance of marine fishes are impaired at CO2 levels projected to occur in the ocean in the next 50-100 years, and there is limited potential for... -
Ocean acidification rapidly reduces dinitrogen fixation associated with the h...
Since productivity and growth of coral-associated dinoflagellate algae is nitrogen (N)-limited, dinitrogen (N2) fixation by coral-associated microbes is likely crucial for... -
Solar UV irradiances modulate effects of ocean acidification on the Coccolith...
Emiliania huxleyi, the most abundant coccolithophorid in the oceans, is naturally exposed to solar UV radiation (UVR, 280-400 nm) in addition to photosynthetically active...
