Increased levels of dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) drive ocean acidification and have been predicted to increase the energy use of marine fishes via physiological and behavioural mechanisms. This notion is based on a theoretical framework suggesting that detrimental effects on energy use are caused by plasma acid–base disruption in response to hypercapnic acidosis, potentially in […]
The AGU Fall Meeting will be held on 9-13 December 2019 in San Francisco, CA. The meeting will include a session on ocean acidification titled “Marine-based management of atmospheric carbon dioxide and ocean acidification”. Session description: Ocean biology, chemistry and physics play a central role in naturally controlling oceanic/atmospheric CO2 levels. To avoid major global […]
Highlights • Adamussium colbecki shell crystals deposition is not affected by low pH exposure. • A. colbecki shell resulted robust to low pH exposure in terms of micro and nano-mechanics. • Larger resilience of Antarctic communities to predation than foreseen in a Global Change scenario. Abstract Atmospheric pCO2 has increased since the industrial revolution leading […]
A successful integrated ocean acidification (OA) observing network must include (1) scientists and technicians from a range of disciplines from physics to chemistry to biology to technology development; (2) government, private, and intergovernmental support; (3) regional cohorts working together on regionally specific issues; (4) publicly accessible data from the open ocean to coastal to estuarine […]
The energetically costly transition from free-swimming larvae to benthic life stage and maintenance of a calcareous structure can make calcifying marine invertebrates vulnerable to ocean acidification. The first goal of this study was to evaluate the impacts of ocean acidification on calcified tube growth for two Serpulidae polychaete worms. Spirorbis sp. and Spirobranchus triqueter were […]
