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...

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...

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...

Interactive effects of temperature, CO2 and nitrogen source on a coastal California diatom assemblage
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Diatoms are often considered to be a single functional group, yet there is a great deal of morphological, genetic and ecological diversity within the class. How these differences will...

Ocean acidification increases the vulnerability of native oysters to predation by invasive snails
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
There is growing concern that global environmental change might exacerbate the ecological impacts of invasive species by increasing their per capita effects on native species. However,...

Elevated seawater CO2 concentrations impair larval development and reduce larval survival in endangered northern abalone (Haliotis kamtschatkana)
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Increasing levels of anthropogenic carbon dioxide in the world's oceans are resulting in a decrease in the availability of carbonate ions and a drop in seawater pH. This process, known as...
