Toxic dinoflagellate blooms of in Chilean fjords: a resilient winner from climate change
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Exposure of the toxigenic dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella to variations in pCO2/pH, comparable to current and near-future levels observed in Southern Chilean fjords, revealed...

Habitat preferences of coral-associated fishes are altered by short-term exposure to elevated CO2
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations are causing additional CO2 to be absorbed by the oceans. Recent studies show that exposure to elevated CO2 causes olfactory...

Near-future ocean acidification enhances the feeding rate and development of the herbivorous juveniles of the crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Population outbreaks of the corallivorous crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci, are a major contributor to the decline in coral reef across the Indo-Pacific. The success of A....

Ocean acidification affects prey detection by a predatory reef fish
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Changes in olfactory-mediated behaviour caused by elevated CO2 levels in the ocean could affect recruitment to reef fish populations because larval fish become more vulnerable to...

Combined effects of short-term exposure to elevated CO2 and decreased O2 on the physiology and energy budget of the thick shell mussel Mytilus coruscus
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Hypoxia and ocean acidification are two consequences of anthropogenic activities. These global trends occur on top of natural variability. In environments such as estuarine areas, short-...

Effects of CO2 and seawater acidification on the early stages of Saccharina japonica development
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
In this paper, we demonstrated that ocean acidification (OA) had significant negative effects on the microscopic development of Saccharina japonica in a short-term exposure experiment...

Elevated CO2 affects the behavior of an ecologically and economically important coral reef fish
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
We tested the effect of near-future CO2 levels (≈490, 570, 700, and 960 $μ$atm CO2) on the olfactory responses and activity levels of juvenile coral trout, Plectropomus leopardus, a...

Complex environmental forcing across the biogeographical range of coral populations
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Although there is a substantial body of work on how temperature shapes coastal marine ecosystems, the spatiotemporal variability of seawater pH and corresponding in situ biological...

Abiotic and biotic interactions in the diffusive boundary layer of kelp blades create a potential refuge from ocean acidification
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
1.Seaweeds are able to modify the chemical environment at their surface, in a micro‐zone called the diffusive boundary layer (DBL), via their metabolic processes controlled by light...

Will coral islands maintain their growth over the next century? A deterministic model of sediment availability at Lady Elliot Island, Great Barrier Reef
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
A geomorphic assessment of reef system calcification is conducted for past (3200 Ka to present), present and future (2010-2100) time periods. Reef platform sediment production is...

Bryozoans as southern sentinels of ocean acidification: a major role for a minor phylum
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Rapid anthropogenic production of CO2 has driven the carbonate chemistry of the sea, causing lowered pH in surface waters. Increasingly, scientists are called on to study ocean...

Variability in larval gut pH regulation defines sensitivity to ocean acidification in six species of the Ambulacraria superphylum
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The unusual rate and extent of environmental changes due to human activities may exceed the capacity of marine organisms to deal with this phenomenon. The identification of physiological...

Functional traits for carbon access in macrophytes
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Understanding functional trait distributions among organisms can inform impacts on and responses to environmental change. In marine systems, only 1% of dissolved inorganic carbon in...

Expected limits on the ocean acidification buffering potential of a temperate seagrass meadow
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification threatens many marine organisms, especially marine calcifiers. The only global‐scale solution to ocean acidification remains rapid reduction in CO2 emissions....

Net loss of CaCO3 from a subtropical calcifying community due to seawater acidification: mesocosm-scale experimental evidence
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Acidification of seawater owing to oceanic uptake of atmospheric CO2 originating from human activities such as burning of fossil fuels and land-use changes has raised serious concerns...
