Seawater carbonate chemistry and motility of flagellated microalgae
Motility plays a critical role in algal survival and reproduction, with implications for aquatic ecosystem stability. However, the effect of elevated CO2 on marine, brackish and... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and larval settlement of Sea urchin larvae
Extensive research has shown that the early life stages of marine organisms are sensitive to ocean acidification (OA). Less is known, however, on whether larval settlement and... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and cuttlefish buoyancy
Carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere is expected to continue rising by 2100, leading to a decrease in ocean pH in a process known as ocean acidification (OA). OA can... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and larval morphology, pigment cell response, la...
Larval stages of members of the Abulacraria superphylum including echinoderms and hemichordates have highly alkaline midguts. To date, the reason for the evolution of such... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and Nucella behavior
Local adaptation can cause predator populations to vary in traits and their effects on prey, but few studies have tested whether divergent predator populations respond... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and growth rate, larval attachment of edible oys...
Unprecedented rate of increased CO2 level in the ocean and the subsequent changes in carbonate system including decreased pH, known as ocean acidification (OA), is predicted to... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and gastrovascular cavity pH, calcification of M...
Coral polyps have a fluid-filled internal compartment, the gastrovascular cavity (GVC). Respiration and photosynthesis cause large daily excursions in GVC oxygen concentration... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and survival and growth of two populations of re...
Ocean acidification (OA) poses a major threat to marine ecosystems and shellfish aquaculture. A promising mitigation strategy is the identification and breeding of shellfish... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and growth, biochemical, antioxidants, metabolic...
Acidification in the marine environment has become a global issue that creates serious threats to marine organisms. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of CO2 driven... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and enzymatic antioxidant defense, protein repai...
Ocean acidification is a consequence of chemical changes driven mainly by a continuous uptake of carbon dioxide, resulting in pH decrease. This phenomenon represents an... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and coral offspring ecological performance
The persistence of reef building corals is threatened by human-induced environmental change. Maintaining coral reefs into the future requires not only the survival of adults,... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and polyspermy of a broadcast spawning bivalve
Ensuring that oocytes are fertilized by a single sperm during broadcast spawning is crucial for the fertilization success of many marine invertebrates. Although the adverse... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and sperm motility of Tegillarca granosavia
Since the industrial revolution, massive amount of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) have been generated to elevate the atmospheric CO2 concentration. Some anthropogenic CO2... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and growth and learning capabilities of squid sp...
Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are being absorbed by the oceans, a process known as ocean acidification, and risks adversely affecting a variety of behaviours in a... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and half-time of calcein influx in the coral Sty...
Coral calcification relies on the transport of ions and molecules to the extracellular calcifying medium (ECM). Little is known about paracellular transport (via intercellular... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and calcification, respiration, and photosynthes...
Larger benthic foraminifera (LBF) are unicellular eukaryotic calcifying organisms and an important component of tropical and subtropical modern and ancient oceanic ecosystems.... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and growth of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus ...
Anthropogenic CO2 emissions are projected to lower the pH of the ocean 0.3 units by 2100. Previous studies suggested that Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus, the numerically... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and estuarine dissolved organic carbon export
Relative to their surface area, estuaries make a disproportionately large contribution of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to the global carbon cycle, but it is unknown how this... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and individual time to open of blue mussels (Myt...
Startle response behaviours are important in predator avoidance and escape for a wide array of animals. For many marine invertebrates, however, startle response behaviours are... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and growth, photosynthetic and calcification rat...
The carbonate chemistry in coastal waters is more variable compared with that of open oceans, both in magnitude and time scale of its fluctuations. However, knowledge of the...
