This dataset contains size measurements from the Bleaching Ecophysiology Assessment (BEA) experiment, recording the maximum diameter increase inferred from growth images of...

Fractional trophic levels (i.e., trophic positions) describe the position of organisms within food webs and help define their functional roles in ecosystems (Odum & Heald,...

Quantitative data on diet composition is key to understand prey–predator interactions and to parameterize ecosystem models. We compiled estimates of diet proportions from 26...

The dataset contains 108 records of major and trace element concentrations measured on (eviscerated) whole bodies of meso- to bathypelagic fish (19 species), decapods (4...

The dataset contains 361 records of energy density values measured on (eviscerated) whole bodies of meso- to bathypelagic fish (49 species), decapods (4 species) and euphausiids...

This study investigated the acute pH effects in isolation as an initial step in studying the acute physiological response of Haliotis midae to provide a mechanistic basis for...

Oceanic food webs are organized in a continuum from microbial to metazoan linked by trophic interactions. Assessment of the position of organisms in the food web, i.e., their...

Isotopic data are valuable to investigate species interactions and food web structure. This file compiles δ13C and δ15N values of various marine taxa; most of data correspond to...

Surveys were performed for macroalgae fresh biomass, dry biomass, leaf area index and kelp morphometry at Hansneset, Blomstrand in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, from the infralittoral...

This database contains functional traits of target and non-target fish species (Actinopterygii and Elasmobranchii) from the Azores archipelago, Portugal. The included traits are...

Seawater temperature, oxygen, salinity and pH are important abiotic factors, changes in which can generate stress in marine organisms. Subtidal and intertidal species, such as...

This study investigated the effects of experimentally manipulated seawater carbonate chemistry on several early life history processes of the Baltic tellin (Macoma balthica), a...

Ocean acidification affects species populations and biodiversity through direct negative effects on physiology and behaviour. The indirect effects of elevated CO2 are less well...

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...

Larger benthic foraminifera (LBF) are unicellular eukaryotic calcifying organisms and an important component of tropical and subtropical modern and ancient oceanic ecosystems....

Sites with naturally high CO2 conditions provide unique opportunities to forecast the vulnerability of coastal ecosystems to ocean acidification, by studying the biological...

Ocean acidification events are recognized as important drivers of change in biological systems. Particularly, the impacts of acidification are more severe in estuarine systems...

Oceanic uptake of atmospheric CO2 is reducing seawater pH and shifting carbonate chemistry within, a process termed as ocean acidification (OA). Marine mussels are a family of...

Elevated seawater CO2 can cause a range of behavioural impairments in marine fishes. However, most studies to date have been conducted on small benthic species and very little...

Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations will significantly reduce ocean pH during the 21st century (ocean acidification, OA). This may hamper calcification in marine organisms...
