Boosted nutritional quality of food by CO2 enrichment fails to offset energy demand of herbivores under ocean warming, causing energy depletion and mortality
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The CO2-boosted trophic transfer from primary producers to herbivores has been increasingly discovered at natural CO2 vents and in laboratory experiments. Despite the emerging knowledge...

Symbiodinium mitigate the combined effects of hypoxia and acidification on a non-calcifying cnidarian
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Anthropogenic nutrient inputs enhance microbial respiration within many coastal ecosystems, driving concurrent hypoxia and acidification. During photosynthesis, Symbiodinium spp., the...

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....

Abiotic and biotic interactions in the diffusive boundary layer of kelp blades create a potential refuge from ocean acidification
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
1.Seaweeds are able to modify the chemical environment at their surface, in a micro‐zone called the diffusive boundary layer (DBL), via their metabolic processes controlled by light...

Differential responses of growth and photosynthesis in the marine diatom Chaetoceros muelleri to CO2 and light availability
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
This study investigated the impact of photon flux and elevated CO2 concentrations on growth and photosynthetic electron transport on the marine diatom Chaetoceros muelleri and looked for...

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...

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...

Water flow modulates the response of coral reef communities to ocean acidification
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
By the end of the century coral reefs likely will be affected negatively by ocean acidification (OA), but both the effects of OA on coral communities and the crossed effects of OA with...

Galápagos coral reef persistence after ENSO warming across an acidification gradient
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Anthropogenic CO2 is causing warming and ocean acidification. Coral reefs are being severely impacted, yet confusion lingers regarding how reefs will respond to these stressors over this...

Greenhouse conditions induce mineralogical changes and dolomite accumulation in coralline algae on tropical reefs
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Human-induced ocean acidification and warming alter seawater carbonate chemistry reducing the calcification of reef-building crustose coralline algae (CCA), which has implications for...

Host and symbionts in Pocillopora damicornis larvae display different transcriptomic responses to ocean acidification and warming
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
As global ocean change progresses, reef-building corals and their early life history stages will rely on physiological plasticity to tolerate new environmental conditions. Larvae from...
