Sensitivity to ocean acidification parallels natural pCO2 gradients experienc...
The Arctic Ocean is a bellwether for ocean acidification, yet few direct Arctic studies have been carried out and limited observations exist, especially in winter. We present... -
Ocean acidification affects growth but not nutritional quality of the seaweed...
Understanding the ecological implications of global climate change requires investigations of not only the direct effects of environmental change on species performance but also... -
Performance of the Arctic calanoid copepods Calanus glacialis and C. hyperbor...
The sensitivity of copepods to ocean acidification (OA) and warming may increase with time, however, studies >10 days and on synergistic effects are rare. We therefore... -
Acid-base regulation in the Dungeness crab (Metacarcinus magister)
Homeostatic regulation allows organisms to secure basic physiological processes in a varying environment. To counteract fluctuations in ambient carbonate system speciation due... -
Increased feeding and nutrient excretion of adult antarctic krill, Euphausia ...
Ocean acidification has a wide-ranging potential for impacting the physiology and metabolism of zooplankton. Sufficiently elevated CO2 concentrations can alter internal... -
Effects of pre-hatching pCO2 on development and survival of zoea stages of Ar...
Sensitivity of marine crustaceans to anthropogenic CO2 emissions and the associated acidification of the oceans may be less than that of other, especially lower, invertebrates.... -
Effects of ocean acidification on respiration, growth and C:N ratio of arctic...
Early life stages of marine crustaceans respond sensitively to elevated seawater PCO2. However, the underlying physiological mechanisms have not been studied well. We therefore... -
Ocean acidification induces multi-generational decline in copepod naupliar pr...
Climate change, including ocean acidification (OA), presents fundamental challenges to marine biodiversity and sustained ecosystem health. We determined reproductive response... -
Larval development of the barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus responds variably ...
Increasing atmospheric CO2 decreases seawater pH in a phenomenon known as ocean acidification. In two separate experiments we found that larval development of the barnacle... -
Tolerance of juvenile barnacles (Amphibalanus improvisus) to warming and elev...
We investigated the impacts of warming and elevated pCO2 on newly settled Amphibalanus improvisus from Kiel Fjord, an estuarine ecosystem characterized by significant natural... -
Habitat traits and food availability determine the response of marine inverte...
Energy availability and local adaptation are major components in mediating the effects of ocean acidification (OA) on marine species. In a long-term study, we investigated the... -
Impacts of ocean warming and acidification on the larval development of the b...
The world's oceans are warming and becoming more acidic. Both stressors, singly or in combination, impact marine species, and ensuing effects might be particularly serious for... -
Biological impacts of enhanced alkalinity in Carcinus maenas
Further steps are needed to establish feasible alleviation strategies that are able to reduce the impacts of ocean acidification, whilst ensuring minimal biological side-effects... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and hatch rates of Antarctic krill
Marine ecosystems of the Southern Ocean are particularly vulnerable to ocean acidification. Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba; hereafter krill) is the key pelagic species of... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and reproductive properties of the benthic copep...
We investigated the effects of elevated pCO2 in seawater both on the acute mortality and the reproductive properties of the benthic copepod Tigriopus japonicus and gastropod... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and egg production, hatching and metabolic rates...
This study includes the first information on the combined effect of low pH and raised temperature on egg production rate (EP), hatching success (HS), excretion and respiration... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and reproduction of the two calanoid copepods Ce...
Some planktonic groups suffer negative effects from ocean acidification (OA), although copepods might be less sensitive. We investigated the effect of predicted CO2 levels... -
Differential acid-base regulation in various gills of the green crab Carcinus...
Euryhaline decapod crustaceans possess an efficient regulation apparatus located in the gill epithelia, providing a high adaptation potential to varying environmental abiotic... -
The synergistic effects of increasing temperature and CO2 levels on activity ...
In order to allow full comparability with other ocean acidification data sets, the R package seacarb (Lavigne and Gattuso, 2011) was used to compute a complete and consistent... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and crab Necora puber size and elements in tissu...
Ocean acidification (OA) is predicted to play a major role in shaping species biogeography and marine biodiversity over the next century. We tested the effect of medium-term...
