Effects of increased pCO2 and temperature on trace element (Ag, Cd and Zn) bioaccumulation in the eggs of the common cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis (2009, background): “In addition to these biological effects, new data are emerging on the disturbances of physiological process such as growth, development, metabolism, ionoregulation and acid-base balance under elevated temperature and pCO2 (e.g. Fabry et al., 2008; Widdicombe and Spicer, 2008; Pörtner et al., 2004; P”
Impacts of ocean acidification on marine shelled molluscs (2013, methodology): “During acute hypercapnia, metabolic depression is an adaptive mechanism used by shelled molluscs to conserve energy, for example, during air exposure of intertidal ectotherms or other situations of extreme oxygen deﬁ-ciency or internal CO 2 accumulation (Po¨rtner et al. 2004).”
The Impact of Ocean Acidification on Reproduction, Early Development and Settlement of Marine Organisms (2011, neutral): “Yet supporting or rejecting predictions on the impact of ocean acidification induced by climate change is difficult [9,10] because studies investigating the response of marine organisms to ocean acidification are in their infancy [3,11,12] and”
Ecosystem effects of ocean acidification in times of ocean warming: a physiologist’s view (2008, background): “Low capacity of acid–base regulation through proton equivalent ion exchange may be a general pattern explaining the elevated sensitivity of lower marine invertebrates and their life stages to CO2 (Pörtner et al. 2004, 2005, Shirayama & Thornton 2005, Dupont et al. 2008, this TS).”
Interacting effects of elevated temperature and ocean acidification on the aerobic performance of coral reef fishes (2009, background): “Instead, resting O2 consumption of fish is usually unaffected by hypercapnia (Pörtner et al. 2004, Ishimatsu et al. 2005, 2008).”
Biological mechanisms supporting adaptation to ocean acidification in coastal ecosystems (2015, neutral): “…to partial anaerobiosis, with a consequent degradation of proteins (De Zwaan et al., 1976) as demonstrated by increased excretion of ammonia (Pörtner et al., 2004, Michaelidis et al., 2005), which can be interpreted as an intracellular pH regulatory mechanism (Fernández-Reiriz, et al.,…”
Meta-analysis reveals negative yet variable effects of ocean acidification on marine organisms. (2010, background): “In turn, organisms unable to compensate for the reductions in extracellular pH have shown depressed metabolism, growth and fitness (Pörtner et al. 2004; Michaelidis et al. 2005; Siikavuopio et al. 2007).”
Elevated level of carbon dioxide affects metabolism and shell formation in oysters Crassostrea virginica (2010, background): “…higher CO2 concentrations and lower pH in estuaries may have adverse effects on other marine organisms, ranging from shifts in acidbase homeostasis and changes in metabolic functions and energy balance, to negative impacts on biomineralization rates (Pörtner et al. 2004, 2005, Doney et al. 2009).”
Intrageneric variation in antipredator responses of coral reef fishes affected by ocean acidification: implications for climate change projections on marine communities (2011, background): “Keywords: antipredator response, hypercapnia, interspecific variation, ocean acidification, Pomacentridae, survival Received 24 January 2011; revised version received 18 Mach 2011 and accepted 18 March 2011”
Extracellular acid-base regulation during short-term hypercapnia is effective in a shallow-water crab, but ineffective in a deep-sea crab (2007, background): “Additionally, the data support the synergistic effects of hypoxia and hypercapnia (see Portner et al. 2004 for a review).”
Moderate seawater acidification does not elicit long-term metabolic depression in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis (2010, background): “It has been hypothesized that hypercapnia elicits a reduction in aerobic metabolism in marine organisms (metabolic depression) as a result of acid–base disturbances (Pörtner et al. 2004).”
Climate change and Australian marine life (2007, background): “…of marine organisms to pH changes have explored large changes in pH (>1.0) under laboratory conditions (Kikkawa et al. 2003, Pedersen & Hansen 2003a,b, Pörtner et al. 2004, Engel et al. 2005) but little is known on what the gradual long-term effects of pH lowering will be on marine organisms.”
Temperature affects the early life history stages of corals more than near future ocean acidification (2013, background): “3A,B, Table 3), high pCO2 decreased the time to motility, whereas elevated pCO2 would be expected to slow rates of development (Pörtner et al. 2004).”
