Non-additive effects of ocean acidification in combination with warming on the larval proteome of the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas
Posted on OA: 4 Dec 2015 Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide results in ocean acidification and warming, significantly impacting marine invertebrate larvae development. We investigated how ocean acidification in combination with warming affected D-veliger larvae of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. Larvae were reared for 40 h under either control (pH
NOAA-led research identifies areas of global ocean most vulnerable to ocean acidification
Posted on OA: 18 Nov 2015 New NOAA-led research maps the distribution of aragonite saturation state in both surface and subsurface waters of the global ocean and provides further evidence that ocean acidification is happening on a global scale. The study identifies the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, and the upwelling
Recent advances in understanding trans-epithelial acid-base regulation and excretion mechanisms in cephalopods
Posted on OA: 18 Nov 2015 Cephalopods have evolved complex sensory systems and an active lifestyle to compete with fish for similar resources in the marine environment. Their highly active lifestyle and their extensive protein metabolism has led to substantial acid-base regulatory abilities enabling these organisms to cope with CO2
Variability in carbon availability and eelgrass (Zostera marina) biometrics along an estuarine gradient in Willapa Bay, WA, USA
Posted on OA: 4 Nov 2015 — Ruesink J. L., Yang S. & Trimble A. C., 2015. Estuaries and Coasts 38(6):1908-1917. Article (subscription required). Because photosynthesis requires CO2, carbon limitation in aquatic environments could restrict primary production and provide signals in tissue chemistry. We took advantage of spatial variability of
