Physiological basis for high CO2 tolerance in marine ectothermic animals: pre-adaptation through lifestyle and ontogeny? (2009, methodology): “While it is clear already now that due to the synergistic effects of a complex set of parameters CO2 tolerance at near-future levels of ocean acidification is difficult to predict, even for closely related species (e.g. echinoderm larval stages: Dupont and Thorndyke, 2009; Widdicombe and Spicer, 200”
Impact of medium-term exposure to CO2 enriched seawater on the physiological functions of the velvet swimming crab Necora puber. (2010, background): “It is also commercially important in Europe (Freire & González-Gurriarán 1995, Wilhelm & Mialhe 1996, Henderson & Leslie 2006, Robson et al. 2007).”
Intrageneric variation in antipredator responses of coral reef fishes affected by ocean acidification: implications for climate change projections on marine communities (2011, background): “1 306 966 4317, fax 1 306 966 7376, e-mail: maud.ferrari@usask.ca r 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd 1 Widdicombe & Spicer, 2008) and decreased carbonate ions concentrations are known to reduce calcification rates of corals and other invertebrates that precipitate aragonite skeletons (Orr et al.,…”
Living in the now: physiological mechanisms to tolerate a rapidly changing environment. (2010, background): “The next phase of these studies will benefit from explorations of mechanisms (4) and the capacity for physiological plasticity, phenotypic plasticity, and microevolution to buffer these negative effects.”
Physiological and ecological responses of crustaceans to ocean acidification (2011, positive): “Studies on crustaceans can therefore provide researchers with an ideal opportunity to examine the relationship between environmental variability and the capacity to tolerate ocean acidification, which has recently been debated in the literature (Fabry et al. 2008, Widdicombe & Spicer 2008).”
Influence of CO2-induced acidification on the reproduction of a key Arctic copepod Calanus glacialis (2012, background): “It would appear that for copepods adults are less sensitive to acidification than embryos or larval stages and that sensitivity to external perturbations, like hypercapnia, may decreases as an organism develops (Grice et al., 1973; Widdicombe and Spicer, 2008).”
Synergistic effects of elevated CO2 and temperature on the metabolic scope and activity in a shallow-water coastal decapod (Metapenaeus joyneri; Crustacea: Penaeidae) (2011, background): “The rapid rise in ocean acidification (because of hypercapnia; i.e. elevated CO2 levels) may have profound effects on organisms, of which critical limits and long-term effects are currently unknown (Pörtner et al., 1998; Seibel and Walsh, 2003; Widdicombe and Spicer, 2008).”
Ocean acidification affects growth but not nutritional quality of the seaweed Fucus vesiculosus (Phaeophyceae, Fucales) (2014, background): “Ocean acidification has substantial effects on the performance of a great variety of marine organisms (Chan and Conolly, 2013; Harvey et al., 2013; Kroeker et al., 2010, 2013; Widdicombe and Spicer, 2008).”
