• Populations of the Sydney rock oyster, Saccostrea glomerata, vary in response to ocean acidification (2011, background): “negatively; studies have found positive responses in the coccolithophore, Emiliana huxleyi (Iglesias-Rodriguez et al. 2008), and sea star, Pisaster ochraceus (Gooding et al.”
• Elevated level of carbon dioxide affects metabolism and shell formation in oysters Crassostrea virginica (2010, background): “…such as decrease in pH and the associated decline in CaCO3 saturation of seawater, although the direction and magnitude of the CO2-driven effects on calcification rates can significantly vary between species (Feely et al. 2004, Iglesias-Rodriguez et al. 2008, Clark et al. 2009, Ries et al. 2009).”
• Potential impacts of future ocean acidification on marine ecosystems and fisheries: current knowledge and recommendations for future research (2011, neutral): “, 1999; Fabry, 2008) and calcareous phytoplankton (Riebesell et al., 2000; Zondervan et al., 2001; Iglesias-Rodriguez et al., 2008).”
• Phytoplankton in a changing world: cell size and elemental stoichiometry (2010, background): “…inorganic carbon (PIC)] by coccolithophores grown with additional CO 2 relative to present-day CO 2 (Raven et al., 2005a) is undergoing revision in the light of more recent data using a greater range of organisms (Lange et al., 2006) and different methodologies (Iglesias-Rodriguez et al., 2008).”
• Reviews and Syntheses: Responses of coccolithophores to ocean acidification: a meta-analysis (2015, methodology): “, 2006, 2009), but also the method of carbonate chemistry manipulation, whether through changes in total alkalinity (TA) or dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), has been discussed as a possible cause of some of the observed discrepancies (Iglesias-Rodriguez et al., 2008; Shi et al., 2009).”
• Diversity and Ecology of Eukaryotic Marine Phytoplankton (2012, background): “huxleyi has become a model species, notably for studies of the effects of ocean acidification on coccolithophore calcification (Beaufort et al., 2011; Iglesias-Rodriguez et al., 2008; Riebesell et al., 2000), and is the only haptophyte for which extensive genomic data (including full genome”
• Microzooplankton grazing and phytoplankton growth in marine mesocosms with increased CO 2 levels (2008, background): “On the other hand algal species which are favoured by higher dissolved CO2 concentration for photosynthesis, might instead benefit from an increase in the surface ocean CO2 concentration (e.g. Barcelos e Ramos et al., 2007; Fu et al., 2007; Iglesias-Rodriguez et al., 2008; Riebesell, 2000; Rost et a”
• Possible effects of ocean acidification on coral reef biogeochemistry: topics for research (2008, background): “For example, in some cultures of Emiliania huxleyi (a carbon-limited coccolithophore) grown under high pCO2 and high nutrients, inorganic and organic carbon production and cell size were enhanced despite the decrease in calcite Ω (Ωcalc) (Iglesias-Rodriguez et al. 2008).”
• Poleward expansion of the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi (2014, background): “The effects of OA on E. huxleyi calcification are still hotly debated primarily because both laboratory (e.g. Riebesell et al., 2000 vs. Iglesias-Rodriguez et al., 2008) and observational data (e.g. Beaufort et al., 2011 vs. Smith et al., 2012) give contradictory results.”
• Quantitative approaches in climate change ecology (2011, methodology): “For example, inferential strength from observational studies can be improved by coupling the study with appropriate experimental studies (three studies in our review, Chevaldonné & Lejeusne, 2003; Iglesias-Rodriguez et al., 2008; Halloran et al., 2008).”
• Species-specific consequences of ocean acidification for the calcareous tropical green algae Halimeda (2011, background): “…have been documented for some species of corals and for crustose coralline algae in response to elevated pCO2 (Anthony et al. 2008), but other studies have found enhancement of photosynthesis for red calcified algae (Semesi et al. 2009b) and coccolithophores (Iglesias-Rodriguez et al. 2008).”
• Vulnerability of marine biodiversity to ocean acidification: A meta-analysis (2010, background): “These inferences have prompted substantial investments in research funds to support major increases in research efforts, which are providing evidence that the responses of organisms to ocean acidification may be more complex than previously thought (Fabry, 2008; Iglesias-Rodriguez et al., 2008).”
