Effects of ocean acidification and global warming on reef bioerosion—lessons from a clionaid sponge
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Coral reefs are under threat, exerted by a number of interacting effects inherent to the present climate change, including ocean acidification and global warming. Bioerosion drives reef...

Publications
Benthic buffers and boosters of ocean acidification on coral reefs
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification is a threat to marine ecosystems globally. In shallow-water systems, however, ocean acidification can be masked by benthic carbon fluxes, depending on community...

Publications
An aposymbiotic primary coral polyp counteracts acidification by active pH regulation
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Corals build their skeletons using extracellular calcifying fluid located in the tissue-skeleton interface. However, the mechanism by which corals control the transport of calcium and...

Publications
Different calcification responses of two hermatypic corals to CO2-driven ocean acidification
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Understanding how calcification is influenced by the enhanced dissolution of CO2 in the oceans is the key to evaluating the effects of ocean acidification (OA) on coral reefs. In this...

Publications
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...

Publications
Ocean warming and acidification have complex interactive effects on the dynamics of a marine fungal disease
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Diseases threaten the structure and function of marine ecosystems and are contributing to the global decline of coral reefs. We currently lack an understanding of how climate change...
