Rockfish are anxious about climate change too!
Posted on OA: 2 Apr 2014 These days, it’s hard to exhale without thinking about carbon emissions. One major consequence of climate change is ocean acidification, which is an increase in hydrogen ions as water chemistry balances the atmospheric carbon dioxide load. Aquatic animals are affected by ocean acidification because
Differential response to ocean acidification in physiological traits of Concholepas concholepas populations
Posted on OA: 2 Apr 2014 — Although Concholepas concholepas occurs south of the border, this research may shed light on response of native abalone populations Phenotypic adaptation to environmental fluctuations frequently occurs by preexisting plasticity and its role as a major component of variation in physiological diversity is being
New ocean acidification website launched
Posted on OA: 1 Apr 2014 A new online resource on ocean acidification has been launched that brings together new ocean acidification infographics, publications, background information, presentations and news for researchers, policymakers and the public. The website ocean-acidification.net has been developed by the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC-UNESCO),
