Iron limitation modulates ocean acidification effects on southern ocean phyto...
The potential interactive effects of iron (Fe) limitation and Ocean Acidification in the Southern Ocean (SO) are largely unknown. Here we present results of a long-term... -
Impact of ocean acidification in the metabolism and swimming behavior of the ...
Since the industrial revolution, [CO2]atm has increased from 280 µatm to levels now exceeding 380 µatm and is expected to rise to 730-1,020 µatm by the end of this century. The... -
Ocean acidification impairs vermetid reef recruitment
Vermetids form reefs in sub-tropical and warm-temperate waters that protect coasts from erosion, regulate sediment transport and accumulation, serve as carbon sinks and provide... -
Land based mesocosm experiment studying the simultaneous impact of warming an...
A land based mesocosm experiment focusing on the study of the simultaneous impact of warming and acidification on the planktonic food web of the Eastern Mediterranean took place... -
Acid-base physiology response to ocean acidification of two ecologically and ...
Sea cucumbers are dominant invertebrates in several ecosystems such as coral reefs, seagrass meadows and mangroves. As bioturbators, they have an important ecological role in... -
Euechinoidea and Cidaroidea respond differently to ocean acidification
The impact of the chemical changes in the ocean waters due to the increasing atmospheric CO2 depends on the ability of an organism to control extracellular pH. Among sea... -
Impact of elevated pCO2 on paralytic shellfish poisoning toxin content and co...
Ocean acidification is considered a major threat to marine ecosystems and may particularly affect primary producers. Here we investigated the impact of elevated pCO2 on... -
Elevated pCO2 causes developmental delay in early larval Pacific oysters, Cra...
Increasing atmospheric CO2 equilibrates with surface seawater, elevating the concentration of aqueous hydrogen ions. This process, ocean acidification, is a future and... -
Parental effects improve escape performance of juvenile reef fish in a high-C...
Rising CO2 levels in the oceans are predicted to have serious consequences for many marine taxa. Recent studies suggest that non-genetic parental effects may reduce the impact... -
Impact of medium-term exposure to elevated pCO2 levels on the physiological e...
This study evaluated the impact of medium-term exposure to elevated pCO2 levels (750-1200 ppm) on the physiological processes of juvenile Mytilus chilensis mussels over a period... -
Effects of hypercapnia on aspects of feeding, nutrition, and growth in the ed...
Land-based aquaculture facilities experience occasional hypercapnic conditions due to the accumulation of the metabolic waste product carbon dioxide. Pre-gonadal Lytechinus... -
Geographical variation in shell morphology of juvenile snails (Concholepas co...
Changes in phenotypic traits, such as mollusc shells, are indicative of variations in selective pressure along environmental gradients. Recently, increased sea surface... -
Responses of the metabolism of the larvae of Pocillopora damicornis to ocean ...
Ocean acidification and warming are expected to threaten the persistence of tropical coral reef ecosystems. As coral reefs face multiple stressors, the distribution and... -
Bioturbation determines the response of benthic ammonia-oxidizing microorgani...
Ocean acidification (OA), caused by the dissolution of increasing concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in seawater, is projected to cause significant changes to... -
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... -
Effects of high temperature and CO2 on intracellular DMSP in the cold-water c...
Significant warming and acidification of the oceans is projected to occur by the end of the century. CO2 vents, areas of upwelling and downwelling, and potential leaks from... -
The larvae of congeneric gastropods showed differential responses to the comb...
The tolerance and physiological responses of the larvae of two congeneric gastropods, the intertidal Nassarius festivus and subtidal Nassarius conoidalis, to the combined... -
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... -
The effects of thermal and high-CO2 stresses on the metabolism and surroundin...
The effects of elevated temperature and high pCO2 on the metabolism of Galaxea fascicularis were studied with oxygen and pH microsensors. Photosynthesis and respiration rates... -
Acclimatization of the crustose coralline alga Porolithon onkodes to variable...
Ocean acidification (OA) has important implications for the persistence of coral reef ecosystems, due to potentially negative effects on biomineralization. Many coral reefs are...
