Metabolically-induced pH fluctuations by some coastal calcifiers exceed projected 22nd century ocean acidification: a mechanism for differential susceptibility?
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Anthropogenically-mediated decreases in pH, termed ocean acidification (OA), may be a major threat to marine organisms and communities. Research has focussed mainly on tropical coral...

Insights from sodium into the impacts of elevated pCO2 and temperature on bivalve shell formation
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification and warming are predicted to affect the ability of marine bivalves to build their shells, but little is known about the underlying mechanisms. Shell formation is an...

Early development of undulated surf clam, Paphia undulate under elevated pCO2
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Increasing atmospheric CO2 can decrease the seawater pH and carbonate ions, which may adversely affect the larval survival of calcareous animals. In this study, we simulated future...

Dissolution: the Achilles' heel of the triton shell in an acidifying ocean
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
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 dissolution...

Ocean acidification and pathogen exposure modulate the immune response of the edible mussel Mytilus chilensis
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification (OA) is one of the main consequences of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), impacting key biological processes of marine organisms such as development, growth...

Persistence of positive carryover effects in the oyster, Saccostrea glomerata, following transgenerational exposure to ocean acidification
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification (OA) is predicted to have widespread implications for marine organisms, yet the capacity for species to acclimate or adapt over this century remains unknown. Recent...

Effect of marine acidification on calcification and respiration of Chlamys farreri
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Marine acidification will be an important environmental problem in the near future as a result of persistent emissions of CO2 and dissolution into seawater. In this study, we found that...

Future herbivory: the indirect effects of enriched CO2 may rival its direct effects
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Variation in rates of herbivory may be driven by direct effects of the abiotic environment on grazers, as well as indirect effects mediated by their food. Disentangling these direct and...
