Shift from coral to macroalgae dominance on a volcanically acidified reef
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Rising anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere is accompanied by an increase in oceanic CO2 and a concomitant decline in seawater pH (ref. 1). This phenomenon, known as ocean acidification...

Assessment of ocean acidification and warming on the growth, calcification, and biophotonics of a California grass shrimp
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Cryptic colouration in crustaceans, important for both camouflage and visual communication, is achieved through physiological and morphological mechanisms that are sensitive to changes in...

Whole transcriptome analysis of the coral Acropora millepora reveals complex responses to CO2-driven acidification during the initiation of calcification
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The impact of ocean acidification (OA) on coral calcification, a subject of intense current interest, is poorly understood in part because of the presence of symbionts in adult corals....

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...

Acidification alters the composition of ammonia‑oxidizing microbial assemblages in marine mesocosms
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations are causing decreased pH over vast expanses of the ocean. This decreasing pH may alter biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nitrogen via the...

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...

Saturating light and not increased carbon dioxide under ocean acidification drives photosynthesis and growth in (Chlorophyta)
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Carbon physiology of a genetically identified Ulva rigida was investigated under different CO2(aq) and light levels. The study was designed to answer whether (1) light or exogenous...

Publications
Dynamic patterns and ecological impacts of declining ocean pH in a high-resolution multi-year dataset
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Increasing global concentrations of atmospheric CO2 are predicted to decrease ocean pH, with potentially severe impacts on marine food webs, but empirical data documenting ocean pH over...

Effects of fishing and acidification-related benthic mortality on the southeast Australian marine ecosystem
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Oceanic uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) is altering the carbonate chemistry of seawater, with potentially negative consequences for many calcifying marine organisms. At the...
