Seawater carbonate chemistry and kairomone-induced behaviour of crab larvae
Exposure to high pCO2 or low pH alters sensation and behaviour in many marine animals. We show that crab larvae lose their ability to detect and/or process predator kairomones... -
Stress physiology and weapon integrity of intertidal mantis shrimp under futu...
Calcified marine organisms typically experience increased oxidative stress and changes in mineralization in response to ocean acidification and warming conditions. These effects... -
Seawater pH predicted for the year 2100 affects the metabolic response to fee...
Widespread ocean acidification (OA) is transforming the chemistry of the global ocean, and the Arctic is recognised as a region where the earliest and strongest impacts of OA... -
Ocean acidification challenges copepod phenotypic plasticity
In order to allow full comparability with other ocean acidification data sets, the R package seacarb (Gattuso et al, 2016) was used to compute a complete and consistent set of... -
Acidification alters predator-prey interactions of blue crab Callinectes sapi...
Acidification due to anthropogenic CO2 pollution, along with episodic or persistent acidification that occurs in coastal environments, will likely result in severe seasonal... -
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... -
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... -
Seawater acidification more than warming presents a challenge for two Antarct...
Elevated atmospheric pCO2 concentrations are triggering seawater pH reductions and seawater temperature increases along the western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). These factors in... -
Ocean acidification impairs crab foraging behaviour
Anthropogenic elevation of atmospheric CO2 is driving global-scale ocean acidification, which consequently influences calcification rates of many marine invertebrates and... -
Early life stages of the Arctic copepod Calanus glacialis are unaffected by i...
As the world's oceans continue to absorb anthropogenic CO2 from the atmosphere, the carbonate chemistry of seawater will change. This process, termed ocean acidification, may... -
Copepod vital rates under CO2-induced acidification: a calanoid species and a...
Although copepods have been considered tolerant against the direct influence of the ocean acidification (OA) projected for the end of the century, some recent studies have... -
Functional consequences of prey acclimation to ocean acidification for the pr...
Ocean acidification is the suite of chemical changes to the carbonate system of seawater as a consequence of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Despite a growing body... -
Combined effects of low pH and low oxygen on the early-life stages of the bar...
Ocean acidification (OA) is anticipated to interact with the more frequently occurring hypoxic conditions in shallow coastal environments. These could exert extreme stress on... -
Combined effects of short-term ocean acidification and heat shock in a benthi...
Warming of the world's oceans is predicted to have many negative effects on organisms as they have optimal thermal windows. In coastal waters, however, both temperatures and... -
Ocean acidification affects the phyto-zoo plankton trophic transfer efficiency
The critical role played by copepods in ocean ecology and biogeochemistry warrants an understanding of how these animals may respond to ocean acidification (OA). Whilst an... -
Adaptive variability to low-pH river discharges in Acartia tonsa and stress r...
Environmental transitions leading to spatial physical-chemical gradients are of ecological and evolutionary interest because they are able to induce variations in phenotypic... -
Lack of evidence for elevated CO2-induced bottom-up effects on marine copepod...
Rising levels of atmospheric CO2 are responsible for a change in the carbonate chemistry of seawater with associated pH drops (acidification) projected to reach 0.4 units from... -
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... -
Effect of simulated ocean acidification on the acute toxicity of Cu and Cd to...
Heavy metals pollution in marine environments has caused great damage to marine biological and ecological systems. Heavy metals accumulate in marine creatures, after which they...
