Habitat compression and expansion of sea urchins in response to changing climate conditions on the California continental shelf and slope (1994–2013)
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Echinoid sea urchins with distributions along the continental shelf and slope of the eastern Pacific often dominate the megafauna community. This occurs despite their exposure to...

Metabolic responses of the North Pacific krill, Euphausia pacifica, to short- and long-term pCO2 exposure
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
While ocean acidification is likely to have major effects on many marine organisms, those species that regularly experience variable pCO2 environments may be more tolerant of future...

Effects of increased seawater pCO2 on early development of the oyster Crassostrea gigas
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
This study demonstrated that the increased partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) in seawater and the attendant acidification that are projected to occur by the year 2300 will severely impact the...

Interacting effects of elevated temperature and ocean acidification on the aerobic performance of coral reef fishes
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Concerns about the impacts of ocean acidification on marine life have mostly focused on how reduced carbonate saturation affects calcifying organisms. Here, we show that levels of...

Near-future ocean acidification enhances the feeding rate and development of the herbivorous juveniles of the crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Population outbreaks of the corallivorous crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci, are a major contributor to the decline in coral reef across the Indo-Pacific. The success of A....

Internal pH regulation facilitates in situ long-term acclimation of massive corals to end-of-century carbon dioxide conditions.
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The resilience of tropical corals to ocean acidification depends on their ability to regulate the pH within their calcifying fluid (pHcf). Recent work suggests pHcf homeostasis under...

Coral calcifying fluid pH dictates response to ocean acidification
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification driven by rising levels of CO2 impairs calcification, threatening coral reef growth. Predicting how corals respond to CO2 requires a better understanding of how...

Effects of CO2 and seawater acidification on the early stages of Saccharina japonica development
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
In this paper, we demonstrated that ocean acidification (OA) had significant negative effects on the microscopic development of Saccharina japonica in a short-term exposure experiment...

Ocean acidification increases the vulnerability of native oysters to predation by invasive snails
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
There is growing concern that global environmental change might exacerbate the ecological impacts of invasive species by increasing their per capita effects on native species. However,...

Projected changes to growth and mortality of Hawaiian corals over the next 100 years
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Background Recent reviews suggest that the warming and acidification of ocean surface waters predicated by most accepted climate projections will lead to mass mortality and declining...

Warmer more acidic conditions cause decreased productivity and calcification in subtropical coral reef sediment-dwelling calcifiers
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The effects of elevated CO2 and temperature on photosynthesis and calcification in the calcifying algae Halimeda macroloba and Halimeda cylindracea and the symbiont-bearing benthic...

Impacts of ocean acidification on multiplication and caste organisation of parasitic trematodes in their gastropod host
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification is predicted to impact the structure and function of all marine ecosystems in this century. As focus turns towards possible impacts on interactions among marine...

Intraspecific variability in the response of the edible mussel Mytilus chilensis (hupe) to ocean acidification
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification (OA) has been shown to affect significantly the net calcification process and growth rate of many marine calcifying organisms. Recent studies have shown that the...

Physiological response to elevated temperature and pCO2 varies across four Pacific coral species: Understanding the unique host+symbiont response
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The physiological response to individual and combined stressors of elevated temperature and pCO2 were measured over a 24-day period in four Pacific corals and their respective symbionts...

Exploring the “Sharkcano”: biogeochemical observations of the Kavachi submarine volcano (Solomon Islands)
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
An expedition to the Kavachi submarine volcano (Solomon Islands) in January 2015 was serendipitously timed with a rare lull in volcanic activity that permitted access to the inside of...

Responses of the metabolism of the larvae of Pocillopora damicornis to ocean acidification and warming
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification and warming are expected to threaten the persistence of tropical coral reef ecosystems. As coral reefs face multiple stressors, the distribution and abundance of...

Elevated seawater CO2 concentrations impair larval development and reduce larval survival in endangered northern abalone (Haliotis kamtschatkana)
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Increasing levels of anthropogenic carbon dioxide in the world's oceans are resulting in a decrease in the availability of carbonate ions and a drop in seawater pH. This process, known as...
