Ocean acidification causes bleaching and productivity loss in coral reef builders
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification represents a key threat to coral reefs by reducing the calcification rate of the major reef framework builders. In addition, acidification is likely to affect the...

Response of subtropical coastal sediment systems of Okinawa, Japan, to experimental warming and high pCO2
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Increasing seawater temperatures and CO2 levels associated with climate change affect the shallow marine ecosystem function. In this study, the effects of elevated seawater temperature...

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...

Complex and interactive effects of ocean acidification and temperature on epilithic and endolithic coral-reef turf algal assemblages
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Turf algal assemblages are ubiquitous primary producers on coral reefs, but little is known about the response of this diverse group to ocean acidification (OA) across different...

Size-dependent physiological responses of the branching coral Pocillopora verrucosa to elevated temperature and pCO2
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Body size has large effects on organism physiology, but these effects remain poorly understood in modular animals with complex morphologies. Using two trials of a ∼24 day experiment...

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...

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...
