Future high CO2 in the intertidal may compromise adult barnacle Semibalanus balanoides survival and embryonic development rate. (2009, methodology): “The microcosms worked on a tidal system (Findlay et al. 2008) with tide times programmed weekly based on the local Plymouth tide times (salinity = 35, water flow = 10 ml min–1).”
Effects of ocean acidification over the life history of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite (2009, methodology): “For example, one modeling study (Wootton et al. 2008) and another experimental technique study (Findlay et al. 2008) included barnacles in their analyses.”
Post-larval development of two intertidal barnacles at elevated CO2 and temperature (2010, methodology): “Consequently, we have used two species of intertidal barnacles in intertidal microcosms ( Findlay et al. 2008b )t o assess whether organisms usually exposed to a highly variable environment are less susceptible to changes in pH; and whether they are more, less or equally impacted by pH or by temper”
Connected macroalgal‐sediment systems: blue carbon and food webs in the deep coastal ocean (2019, background): “This is a temperature-controlled room where the air temperature is regulated on a monthly basis so that aquaria in the room follow the seasonal temperature cycle of bottom seawater at Station L4 (Findlay et al. 2008, Queir os et al. 2015a).”
A laboratory‐based, experimental system for the study of ocean acidification effects on marine invertebrate larvae (2010, background): “Other systems have been described for large-scale mesocosms (e.g, Kim et al. 2008) and for the study of intertidal organisms (Findlay et al. 2008) or benthic invertebrates (Talmage and Gobler 2009).”
Comparing the impact of high CO2 on calcium carbonate structures in different marine organisms (2011, methodology): “The Semibalanus balanoides experiment was carried out in tidal microcosm systems (Findlay et al. 2008) containing high CO2 air and equilibrated seawater, detailed in Findlay et al. (2009a), with two pH conditions: pH 8.0 and 7.7, running for 104 days.”
Meta-analysis reveals negative yet variable effects of ocean acidification on marine organisms. (2010, background): “Although not included in our analyses, increased temperatures both increased and decreased the severity of the effect size of ocean acidification (Reynaud et al. 2003, 2004; Hare et al. 2007; Anthony et al. 2008; Findlay et al. 2008; Byrne et al. 2009; Martin & Gattuso 2009; Munday et al. 2009).”
Relative influences of ocean acidification and temperature on intertidal barnacle post-larvae at the northern edge of their geographic distribution (2010, methodology): “The microcosms allow the mimicking of diurnal tidal exposure while controlling temperature and CO2 and were identical to those described by Findlay et al. (2008). All microcosms were kept in a controlled temperature experimental room.”
