Posted on OA: 8 Aug 2014 The direct influence of anthropogenic CO2 might play a limited role in pH regulation in coastal ecosystems as pH regulation in these areas can be complex. They experience large variability across a broad range of spatial and temporal scales, with complex external and internal

Ocean’s most oxygen-deprived zones to shrink under climate change
Posted on PhysOrg: 7 Aug 2014 — Centennial changes in North Pacific anoxia linked to tropical trade winds,” by C. Deutsch et al. Science, 2014 — Read more at: http://phys.org/news/2014-08-ocean-oxygen-deprived-zones-climate.html#jCp As the complex story of climate change unfolds, many of the endings are grim. But there are exceptions. Predictions that

The Biological Bulletin 226 (3): 211-222 The influence of environmental change on species interactions will affect population dynamics and community structure in the future, but our current understanding of the outcomes
The skeleton of postmetamorphic echinoderms in a changing world
Posted on OA: 01 Aug 2014 Available evidence on the impact of acidification and its interaction with warming on the skeleton of postmetamorphic (juvenile and adult) echinoderms is reviewed. Data are available on sea urchins, starfish, and brittle stars in 33 studies. Skeleton growth of juveniles of all sea urchin
