Highlights • Triclosan bioaccumulation was enhanced under forecasted climate change conditions. • Triclosan strongly affected clams’ antioxidant defences. • Cellular damage was prevented by enzymatic and behaviour defence mechanisms. • Greater response of the Manila clam to TCS exposure combined with climate change scenario. Abstract Ocean acidification and warming are among the man-induced factors that […]

Despite the wide knowledge about prevalent effects of ocean acidification on single species, the consequences on species interactions that may promote or prevent habitat shifts are still poorly understood. Using natural CO2 vents, we investigated changes in a key tri-trophic chain embedded within all its natural complexity in seagrass systems. We found that seagrass habitats […]
A range of information is collated through a simple framework that will help marine scientists to design more accurate experiments that will better help them understand the projected impact of global warming on marine life. Understanding the consequences of rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and global warming for marine life requires complex experiments that can […]
Highlights • The combined effects of acidification and hypoxia on physiological performance of mussels were investigated. • Diel fluctuating hypoxia and acidification had less impact on the internal environment of mussels compared with constant exposure. • Mussels had higher growth performance under diel cycling acidification and hypoxia compared with constant exposure. • Mussels showed stronger […]
