Ocean acidification impacts multiple early life history processes of the Caribbean coral Porites astreoides (2011, background): “…2009), corals (Albright et al., 2008; Cohen et al., 2009; Albright et al., 2010; Suwa et al., 2010) and echinoderms (Kurihara & Shirayama, 2004; Dupont et al., 2008; Clark et al., 2009; Brennand et al., 2010; O’Donnell et al., 2010); physiology and behavior of mollusks (Ellis et al., 2009);…”
A laboratory‐based, experimental system for the study of ocean acidification effects on marine invertebrate larvae (2010, background): “…2004; Parker et al. 2009), the use of premixed commercial gases (e.g, Miller et al. 2009; O’Donnell et al. 2009; Todgham and Hofmann 2009), or studies that mix pure CO2 with ambient air to achieve the desired pCO2 levels (e.g, Dupont et al. 2008; Byrne et al. 2009; Talmage and Gobler 2009).”
Ocean acidification alters skeletogenesis and gene expression in larval sea urchins (2010, background): “The ΔpHs in this experiment are lower than those used in similar studies (e.g. Dupont et al. 2008, Kurihara 2008); although the Control CO2 treatment had a lower pH than expected for surface waters in equilibrium with air, the span between treatments was modest compared with comparable studies.”
Effects of ocean acidification and elevated temperature on shell plasticity and its energetic basis in an intertidal gastropod (2013, background): “…likely that with any plastic responses in shell morphology, there will be associated trade-offs caused by the reallocation of energy away from vital biological processes, such as growth (e.g. Lischka et al. 2011), reproduction (e.g. Pistevos et al. 2011) and development (e.g. Dupont et al. 2008).”
Ocean acidification and seaweed reproduction: increased CO2 ameliorates the negative effect of lowered pH on meiospore germination in the giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera (Laminariales, Phaeophyceae) (2012, background): “Similarly, for marine invertebrates, the larval phases are typically more susceptible to UVR and OA than adults (Dupont et al., 2008; Gosselin & Jones, 2010).”
Effects of ocean acidification on invertebrate settlement at volcanic CO2 vents (2010, background): “Many laboratory studies have shown that the early life history stages of several organisms are negatively impacted by acidiWed seawater, including work on echinoderms, crustaceans and molluscs (Kurihara and Shirayama 2004; Kurihara et al. 2004, 2007; Dupont et al. 2008; Kurihara and Ishimatsu 2008”
Meta-analysis reveals negative yet variable effects of ocean acidification on marine organisms. (2010, background): “Indeed, some echinoderms have shown delayed development or high mortality during larval stages when exposed to ocean acidification (Dupont et al. 2008).”
Comparing the effect of elevated pCO2 and temperature on the fertilization and early development of two species of oysters (2010, background): “…has arisen because current models are based on only a handful of empirical studies (Kikkawa et al. 2003; Kurihara et al. 2004, 2007; Kurihara and Shirayama 2004; Dupont et al. 2008; Havenhand et al. 2008; Kurihara and Ishimatsu 2008; Byrne et al. 2009; Parker et al. 2009; Watson et al. 2009).”
Effects of ocean acidification over the life history of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite (2009, background): “…of ocean acidification on benthic marine invertebrates has been the focus of a number of recent studies (e.g. oysters, Kurihara et al. 2007; mussels, Beesley et al. 2008; sea urchins, Kurihara & Shirayama 2004; brittle stars, Wood et al. 2008, Dupont et al. 2008; hard corals, Fine & Tchernov 2007).”
Elevated pCO2 increases sperm limitation and risk of polyspermy in the red sea urchin Strongylocentrotus franciscanus (2011, background): “However, the longevity of S. franciscanus (4100 years) (Ebert, 2008) may prevent evolution from ‘rescuing’ urchin populations from the adverse effects of ocean acidification in the near-term.”
Fertilization in a suite of coastal marine invertebrates from SE Australia is robust to near-future ocean warming and acidification (2010, background): “Embryos of H. erythrogramma may not reach the skeleton forming stage in a warm ocean regardless of pH. For those embryos that reach the larval stage, increased acidification and PCO2 may have a negative effect on larval physiology due to hypercapnia and decreased availability of the carbonate ions n”
Effects of acidified seawater on early life stages of scleractinian corals (Genus Acropora) (2009, background): “High mortality (100%) of Ophiothrix fragilis larvae was reported within 8 days under higher pH conditions than those used in this study as the low pH conditions [18].”
The Mediterranean Sea as a ‘cul‐de‐sac’ for endemic fishes facing climate change (2010, background): “Moreover, warming often is related to other changes; for example, acidification might affect the survival of many fish species by impacting the survival of invertebrate prey (Dupont et al., 2008), the quality of fish growth, and the ability of fish to reproduce (Ishimatsu et al., 2008).”
Effects of ocean acidification and warming on the larval development of the spider crab Hyas araneus from different latitudes (54° vs. 79° N) (2010, background): “Existing studies have focused on echinoderms (Dupont et al. 2008, Kurihara 2008), copepods (Kurihara et al. 2004, Mayor et al. 2007), lobsters (Arnold et al. 2009) and barnacles (Findlay et al. 2009) and have demonstrated negative effects of CO2 on development, morphology, growth, hatching success…”
