A study of marine benthic algae along a natural carbon dioxide gradient
(University of Plymouth, 2012-10-19)
Increasing atmospheric CO2 is causing unprecedented changes in seawater chemistry, yet the uncertainty of the ecological response to these projected changes, termed ‘ocean acidification’, remains considerable at present. ...
The behavioural consequences of reduced sea water pH in decapod crustaceans
(University of Plymouth, 2012)
The studies presented in this thesis were designed to investigate the effects of reduced sea water pH on the behaviour of intertidal decapod crustaceans, both within the context of the variations occurring naturally in the ...
Biochemical, metabolic and morphological responses of the intertidal gastropod Littorina littorea to ocean acidification and increase temperature
(University of Plymouth, 2012)
Future changes to the pH and temperature of the oceans are predicted to impact the biodiversity of marine ecosystems, particularly those animals that rely on the process of calcification. The marine intertidal gastropod ...
