Ocean acidification and the loss of phenolic substances in marine plants.
(2012)
Rising atmospheric CO(2) often triggers the production of plant phenolics, including many that serve as herbivore deterrents, digestion reducers, antimicrobials, or ultraviolet sunscreens. Such responses are predicted by ...
Global environmental changes: setting priorities for Latin American coastal habitats.
(2013-02-26)
The Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) reports that Global Environmental Changes (GEC) are occurring quicker than at any other time over the last 25 million years and impacting upon marine environments ...
Community-level response of coastal microbial biofilms to ocean acidification in a natural carbon dioxide vent ecosystem.
(2012-05)
The impacts of ocean acidification on coastal biofilms are poorly understood. Carbon dioxide vent areas provide an opportunity to make predictions about the impacts of ocean acidification. We compared biofilms that colonised ...
The ecology of seamounts: structure, function, and human impacts.
(2010)
In this review of seamount ecology, we address a number of key scientific issues concerning the structure and function of benthic communities, human impacts, and seamount management and conservation. We consider whether ...
Predicting ecosystem shifts requires new approaches that integrate the effects of climate change across entire systems.
(2012-04-23)
Most studies that forecast the ecological consequences of climate change target a single species and a single life stage. Depending on climatic impacts on other life stages and on interacting species, however, the results ...
In situ observations of fish associated with coral reefs off Ireland
(2011-08-01)
The abundance and behaviour of fish on and around coral reefs at Twin Mounds and Giant Mounds, carbonate mounds located on the continental shelf off Ireland (600-1100. m), were studied using two Remotely Operated Vehicle ...
