Development Under Elevated pCO2 Conditions Does Not Affect Lipid Utilization and Protein Content in Early Life-History Stages of the Purple Sea Urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus
Published Biol. Bull. 223: 312–327. (December 2012) — © 2012 Marine Biological Laboratory — PAUL G. MATSON, PAULINE C. YU, MARY A. SEWELL, AND GRETCHEN E. HOFMANN Abstract. Ocean acidification (OA) is expected to have a major impact on marine species, particularly during early life-history stages. These effects appear to be
Individual variability in reproductive success determines winners and losers under ocean acidification: a case study with sea urchins
Posted on EPOCA: 28 Dec 2012 Background Climate change will lead to intense selection on many organisms, particularly during susceptible early life stages. To date, most studies on the likely biotic effects of climate change have focused on the mean responses of pooled groups of animals. Consequently, the extent to
A steep learning curve
Posted on EPOCA: 27 Dec 2012 — Ulf Riebesell charts the rapid rise in ocean acidification research, from the discovery of its adverse effects to its entry into the political consciousness. Ocean acidification, caused by the uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide, is a significant stressor to marine life. Ulf Riebesell charts
Could climate change boost toxic algal blooms in the oceans?
Posted on EPOCA: 27 Dec 2012 Preliminary research hints that ocean acidification may promote some types of algal blooms that make people and animals sick In 1799 about a hundred Aleut hunters working for a Russian-American trading group died in Alaska’s Peril Strait only two hours after eating black mussels
