Future herbivory: the indirect effects of enriched CO2 may rival its direct effects
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Variation in rates of herbivory may be driven by direct effects of the abiotic environment on grazers, as well as indirect effects mediated by their food. Disentangling these direct and...

Complex environmental forcing across the biogeographical range of coral populations
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Although there is a substantial body of work on how temperature shapes coastal marine ecosystems, the spatiotemporal variability of seawater pH and corresponding in situ biological...

An in-situ sensor technology for simultaneous spectrophotometric measurements of seawater total dissolved inorganic carbon and pH
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
A new, in-situ sensing system, Channelized Optical System (CHANOS), was recently developed to make high-resolution, simultaneous measurements of total dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and...

Coral calcification from skeletal records revisited
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Skeletal growth records in annually banded massive coral skeletons are an under-exploited archive of coral responses to environmental changes. Average linear extension and calcification...

Diurnal and seasonal variations of carbonate system parameters on Luhuitou fringing reef, Sanya Bay, Hainan Island, South China Sea
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The 3-day diurnal dynamics of carbonate system and related parameters on Luhuitou fringing reef of Sanya Bay-adjacent to the South China Sea (SCS) were observed in December of 2009 (early...

Respiratory response of the intertidal seastar Parvulastra exigua to contemporary and near-future pulses of warming and hypercapnia
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
As typical of intertidal invertebrates the asterinid seastar Parvulastra exigua experiences marked variation in environmental temperature and pH/pCO2 due to tidal exchange and diurnal...

Aragonite saturation state variation and control in the river-dominated marginal BoHai and Yellow seas of China during summer
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Based on a survey conducted from June to July 2013, aragonite saturation state variation and control in the river-dominated marginal BoHai and Yellow seas were investigated. Surface water...

Ecological effects of ocean acidification and habitat complexity on reef-associated macroinvertebrate communities
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The ecological effects of ocean acidification (OA) from rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) on benthic marine communities are largely unknown. We investigated in situ the consequences...

Decomposing monthly declines in subsurface-water pH and aragonite saturation state from spring to autumn in the North Yellow Sea
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The North Yellow Sea (NYS) is a western North Pacific marginal sea of major ecological and economic importance, where seasonal thermocline and subsurface cold water mass are well...

The sounds of silence: regime shifts impoverish marine soundscapes
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Context Regime shifts are well known for driving penetrating ecological change, yet we do not recognise the consequences of these shifts much beyond species diversity and productivity....

The role of ocean acidification in systemic carbonate mineral suppression in the Bering Sea
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification driven by absorption of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere is now recognized as a systemic, global process that could threaten diverse marine...

Behavior of brooded coral larvae in response to elevated pCO2
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Elevated pCO2 threatens coral reefs through impaired calcification. However, the extent to which elevated pCO2 affects the distribution of the pelagic larvae of scleractinian corals, and...

Early benthic juvenile Parvulastra exigua (Asteroidea) are tolerant to extreme acidification and warming in its intertidal habitat
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Habitat warming and acidification experienced by intertidal invertebrates are potentially detrimental to sensitive early post-larvae of benthic marine invertebrates. To determine the...

Tropical CO2 seeps reveal the impact of ocean acidification on coral reef invertebrate recruitment
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations are causing ocean acidification by reducing seawater pH and carbonate saturation levels. Laboratory studies have demonstrated that many larval and...

Variability in larval gut pH regulation defines sensitivity to ocean acidification in six species of the Ambulacraria superphylum
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The unusual rate and extent of environmental changes due to human activities may exceed the capacity of marine organisms to deal with this phenomenon. The identification of physiological...

Effect of seawater temperature, pH, and nutrients on the distribution and character of low abundance shallow water benthic foraminifera in the Galápagos
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
In order to help predict the effects of anthropogenic stressors on shallow water carbonate environments, it is important to focus research on regions containing natural oceanographic...
