The objectives of the present study were to assess the long-term effect of increasing pCO2 after 217 days of exposure under controlled conditions of pH of ~8.2, 8.0, and 7.7 on...

Seawater changing chemistry has consequences on coastal ecosystems and their living resources. Future projections suggest the pH could drop 0.2-0.3 pH units by the year 2100...

Ocean acidification (OA), the gradual decline in ocean pH and [CO3 ] 2- caused by rising levels of atmospheric CO2, poses a significant threat to coral reef ecosystems,...

Barnacles are dominant members of marine intertidal communities. Their success depends on firm attachment provided by their proteinaceous adhesive and protection imparted by...

Coccolithophores have been extensively studied to understand the environmental control on calcification in a key biological group influencing the alkalinity of seawater....

The combined effect of ocean acidification and warming is expected to have significant effects on several traits of marine organisms. The gastropod Concholepas concholepas is a...

Seagrass is expected to benefit from increased carbon availability under future ocean acidification. This hypothesis has been little tested by in situ manipulation. To test for...

Cold-water corals, such as Lophelia pertusa, are key habitat-forming organisms found throughout the world's oceans to 3000 m deep. The complex three-dimensional framework made...

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...

To elucidate how bivalve larvae can overcome the physicochemical barriers imposed by adverse carbonate chemistry through biologically controlled biomineralization, we exposed...

Spawning performance, intracapsular development and carryover effect of the banded dye murex (Hexaplex trunculus) were investigated following long-term exposure (>250 days)...

We assessed longer-term ocean acidification (OA) effects in red abalone (Haliotis rufescens) using a multi-generational split-brood experiment. We spawned adults raised in...

We examined the effect of long-term (2 year) exposure to decreased seawater pH (7.8 and 7.5, PCO2 ~ 760 and 1550 µatm, respectively) on exoskeletal properties in...

Ocean acidification can affect the ability of calcifying organisms to build and maintain mineralized tissue. In decapod crustaceans, the exoskeleton is a multilayered structure...

Ocean acidification (OA) adversely affects a broad range of marine calcifying organisms. Crustaceans, however, exhibit mixed responses to OA, with growth or survival negatively...

Surface ocean pH is declining due to anthropogenic atmospheric CO2 uptake with a global decline of ~0.3 possible by 2100. Extracellular pH influences a range of biological...

Rising oceanic pCO2 levels could affect many traits in fish early life stages, but only few species to date have shown direct CO2-induced survival reductions. This might partly...

Ocean acidification is expected to negatively impact many calcifying marine organisms by impairing their ability to build their protective shells and skeletons, and by causing...

Calcified marine organisms typically experience increased oxidative stress and changes in mineralization in response to ocean acidification and warming conditions. These effects...

Coastal upwelling regions already constitute hot spots of ocean acidification as naturally acidified waters are brought to the surface. This effect could be exacerbated by ocean...
