Effects of pCO2 on spatial competition between the corals Montipora aequituberculata and Porites lutea
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
We tested the hypothesis that ocean acidification (OA) affects spatial competition among scleractinian corals. Competitive ability was evaluated indirectly by linear extension of Porites...

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...

Morphology and classification of hemocytes in Pinctada fucata and their responses to ocean acidification and warming
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Hemocytes play important roles in the innate immune response and biomineralization of bivalve mollusks. However, the hemocytes in pearl oysters are poorly understood. In the present...

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...

Species-specific responses of juvenile rockfish to elevated pCO2: from behavior to genomics
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
In the California Current ecosystem, global climate change is predicted to trigger large-scale changes in ocean chemistry within this century. Ocean acidification-which occurs when...

Predicted impact of ocean acidification on a marine invertebrate: elevated CO2 alters response to thermal stress in sea urchin larvae
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification (OA) and the biological consequences of altered seawater chemistry have emerged as a significant environmental threat to healthy marine ecosystems. Because a more...

Publications
Combined effects of short-term exposure to elevated CO2 and decreased O2 on the physiology and energy budget of the thick shell mussel Mytilus coruscus
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Hypoxia and ocean acidification are two consequences of anthropogenic activities. These global trends occur on top of natural variability. In environments such as estuarine areas, short-...

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,...

Laboratory simulation reveals significant impacts of ocean acidification on microbial community composition and host-pathogen interactions between the blood clam and Vibrio harveyi
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
It has been suggested that climate change may promote the outbreaks of diseases in the sea through altering the host susceptibility, the pathogen virulence, and the host-pathogen...

Mussel byssus attachment weakened by ocean acidification
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Biomaterials connect organisms to their environments. Their function depends on biological, chemical and environmental factors, both at the time of creation and throughout the life of the...

Publications
Effects of ocean acidification on sperm motility in the red abalone, Haliotis rufescens
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Fossil fuel emissions are changing global temperature and ocean water chemistry. These changes are already altering the seasonal upwelling events that bring deeper ocean water with lower...

Publications
Use of a Free Ocean CO2 Enrichment (FOCE) system to evaluate the effects of ocean acidification on the foraging behavior of a deep-sea urchin
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The influence of ocean acidification in deep-sea ecosystems is poorly understood, but is expected to be large owing to the presumed low tolerance of deep-sea taxa to environmental change....

Publications
Synergistic effects of climate-related variables suggest future physiological impairment in a top oceanic predator
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
By the end of this century, anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are expected to decrease the surface ocean pH by as much as 0.3 unit. At the same time, the ocean is expected to...

Elevated CO2 does not exacerbate nutritional stress in larvae of a Pacific flatfish
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Multiple aspects of climate change are expected to co-occur such that ocean acidification will take place in conjunction with warming and a range of trophic changes. Previous studies have...

CO2-driven decrease in pH disrupts olfactory behaviour and increases individual variation in deep-sea hermit crabs
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Deep-sea species are generally thought to be less tolerant of environmental variation than shallow-living species due to the relatively stable conditions in deep waters for most...
