The objectives of the present study were to assess the long-term effect of increasing pCO2 after 217 days of exposure under controlled conditions of pH of ~8.2, 8.0, and 7.7 on...

In the present study, we investigated from July 2010 to April 2012 the effects of in situ exposure to different pH levels (range pHTS 7.4–8.1) and seasonal temperatures (range...

In this study, we investigated the interaction effects of three stress factors, namely i-metallic mixture of Cu, Pb, Zn, and Hg (control [L0], low, [L1] and high [L2]), ii-...

Here, we investigated these effects on the reef-building corals Acropora cytherea, Pocillopora verrucosa, and Porites cylindrica. We preconditioned corals to a control (pH 8.0)...

Here we evaluate the biological response (mortality, growth and net calcification rates) of a marine calcifier, the larvae of the sea urchin Echinus esculentus, to different...

We measured N and O isotope effects during nitrate assimilation and physiological states of the marine diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii and Synechococcus under different pH (8.1...

Pandalid shrimp use morphological and behavioral defenses against their numerous fish and invertebrate predators. Their rapid tail-flip escape and rigid exoskeleton armor may be...

This study investigates lipid-associated fatty acids (FAs) and enzyme activities involved in biomineralization of the tropical-subtropical starfish Aquilonastra yairi in...

We tested the antagonistic effects of three strains of the dinoflagellate HAB species Alexandrium catenella on three target species (the chlorophyte Tetraselmis sp., the...

To address CO2-induced changes to estuarine calcification, veliger larvae of two oyster species, the Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica), and the Suminoe oyster (Crassostrea...

This laboratory study assessed how cooling and acidification might affect fouling communities along the South African west coast. Communities were experimentally exposed to two...

To gain a better understanding of what drives Pseudo-nitzschia australis growth and toxicity during upwelling and marine heatwave events, multiple-driver scenario or 'cluster'...

Here, we investigatethe impacts of moderate (~700 μmol/kg) and high (~2700 μmol/kg) limestone-inspired alkalinity additionson two biogeochemically and ecologically important...

Shell growth rate of Hexaplex trunculus, an important predatory gastropod in benthic communities of Mali Ston Bay was evaluated. A long-term experiment (310 days) was designed...

Insights into past marine carbon cycling and water mass properties can be obtained by means of geochemical proxies calibrated through controlled laboratory experiments with...

Warming of the world's oceans is predicted to have many negative effects on organisms as they have optimal thermal windows. In coastal waters, however, both temperatures and...

In the current context of environmental change, ocean acidification is predicted to affect the cellular processes, physiology and behaviour of all marine organisms, impacting...

Among bivalves, scallops are exceptional due to their capacity to escape from predators by swimming which is provided by rapid and strong claps that are produced by the phasic...

Ocean acidity has increased by 30% since preindustrial times due to the uptake of anthropogenic CO2 and is projected to rise by another 120% before 2100 if CO2 emissions...

Laboratory culture experiments were conducted to determine effects of seawater carbonate ion concentration ([CO32-]), and thereby calcite saturation state, on Mg and Sr...
