The role of temperature in determining species’ vulnerability to ocean acidification: A case study using mytilus galloprovincialis
Posted on OA: 8 Jul 2014 — Kroeker K. J., Gaylord B., Hill T. M., Hosfelt J. D., Miller S. H. & Sanford E., 2014. PLoS ONE 9(7): e100353 Ocean acidification (OA) is occurring across a backdrop of concurrent environmental changes that may in turn influence species’ responses to OA.
Just released! Ocean acidification in the Pacific Northwest – the facts
Posted on OA: Published 24 June 2014 Science The fact sheet on ocean acidification in the Pacific Northwest has been recently released by the West Coast Ocean Acidification and Hypoxia Science Panel. The evidence for ocean acidification in the Pacific Northwest is compelling. It consists of published scientific literature representing
Skeletal trade-offs in coralline algae in response to ocean acidification
Posted on OA: 23 Jun 2014 Ocean acidification is changing the marine environment, with potentially serious consequences for many organisms. Much of our understanding of ocean acidification effects comes from laboratory experiments, which demonstrate physiological responses over relatively short timescales (…). Observational studies and, more recently, experimental studies in natural
Future oceanic warming and acidification alter immune response and disease status in a commercial shellfish species, Mytilus edulis L.
Posted on OA: 19 Jun 2014 Increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide are leading to physical changes in marine environments including parallel decreases in ocean pH and increases in seawater temperature. This study examined the impacts of a six month exposure to combined decreased pH and increased temperature on the immune
