Impact of ocean acidification on metabolism and energetics during early life stages of the intertidal porcelain crab Petrolisthes cinctipes
Posted on EPOCA: 02 Apr 2013 — Carter H. A., Ceballos-Osuna L., Miller N. A. & Stillman J. H., 2013. Journal of Experimental Biology 216: 1412-1422 Absorption of elevated atmospheric CO2 is causing surface ocean pH to decline, a process known as ocean acidification (OA). To date, few studies have assessed
Effects of ocean acidification on early life-history stages of the intertidal porcelain crab Petrolisthes cinctipes
Posted on EPOCA: 02 Apr 2013 — Ceballos-Osuna L., Carter H. A., Miller N. A. & Stillman J. H., 2013. Journal of Experimental Biology 216: 1405-1411. Intertidal zone organisms naturally experience daily fluctuations in pH, presently reaching values beyond what is predicted for open ocean surface waters from ocean acidification
