Ocean Acidification Effects and Responses

Dissolved inorganic carbon driven dynamics of calcite shell formation in 12 strains of the freshwater algae Phacotus lenticularis (Chlorophyta)

This study examines how dissolved inorganic carbon affects calcite shell formation in 12 strains of freshwater algae, finding reduced shell thickness and calcite dissolution at low DIC levels.

Stressed Overwintering Bottleneck Hypothesis: Ocean warming and acidification synergistically disrupt Arctic zooplankton overwintering

This study tests the Stressed Overwintering Bottleneck Hypothesis by exposing Calanus glacialis to ocean warming and acidification, finding synergistic effects that increase mortality and disrupt overwintering physiology.

The effects of elevated seawater pH and total alkalinity following dosing of sodium hydroxide in Calanus finmarchicus

This study examines the effects of elevated seawater pH and alkalinity from sodium hydroxide exposure on Calanus finmarchicus, finding limited mortality but reduced escape responses and no metabolic impact.

Long-term effects of ocean acidification and its interaction with warming on calcifying organisms and their associated microbiome: bryozoans as emerging sentinels of global change?

This study examines the long-term effects of ocean acidification and warming on bryozoan calcifiers and their microbiomes, finding acclimatization but also microbial shifts and declining cover under acidified conditions.

Cross-generational plasticity in Atlantic silversides (Menidia menidia) under the combined effects of hypoxia and acidification

This study shows that parental exposure to hypoxia and acidification alters offspring traits and gene expression, suggesting cross-generational plasticity in Atlantic silversides.

Skeleton-forming responses of reef-building corals under ocean acidification

This study examines how four coral species form skeletons under acidified conditions, revealing diverse strategies and damage patterns.

Gill ionocyte remodeling mediates blood pH regulation in rockfish (Sebastes diploproa) exposed to environmentally relevant hypercapnia

This study shows that gill ionocyte remodeling, not changes in gene expression, enables rockfish to maintain blood pH under hypercapnia by increasing membrane surface area for H+ excretion.

Secretory and transcriptomic responses of mantle cells to low pH in the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)

This study examines how adult Pacific oysters respond to low pH conditions by analyzing histological, secretory, and transcriptomic changes in their mantle tissue.

Differential DNA methylation in Pacific oyster reproductive tissue in response to ocean acidification

The paper identifies differentially methylated loci in Pacific oyster gonad tissue under ocean acidification, suggesting methylation regulates development and stress response pathways.

Direct and latent effects of ocean acidification on the transition of a sea urchin from planktonic larva to benthic juvenile

This study examines how ocean acidification affects the development and transition of sea urchin larvae from planktonic to benthic stages under different pH conditions.

Combined responses of primary coral polyps and their algal endosymbionts to decreasing seawater pH

The paper investigates how coral polyps and their algal symbionts respond to decreasing seawater pH, finding physiological and transcriptional changes that suggest adaptive strategies.

Ocean acidification induces subtle shifts in gene expression and DNA methylation in mantle tissue of the Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica)

This study examines how ocean acidification affects gene expression and DNA methylation in the mantle tissue of Eastern oysters over time, finding subtle molecular responses and limited plasticity.

Uncovering mechanisms of global ocean change effects on the Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) through metabolomics analysis

The paper uses metabolomics to analyze how Dungeness crab juveniles respond to simulated ocean acidification and hypoxia, finding stronger responses to low oxygen than low pH.

Resilience of Atlantic Slippersnail Crepidula fornicata Larvae in the Face of Severe Coastal Acidification

This study examines the effects of ocean acidification on C. fornicata larvae, finding subtle gene expression changes and reduced shell growth but no severe impacts or mortality.
