An organism's physiological processes form the link between its life-history traits and prevailing environmental conditions, especially in species with complex life cycles. Understanding how these respond to changing thereby affecting organismal development, is critical if we are predict biological implications of current future global climate change. However, much our knowledge derived from adults or single developmental stages. Consequently, investigated metabolic rate, organic content,...
Ocean acidification is predicted to have detrimental effects on many marine organisms and ecological processes. Despite growing evidence for direct impacts specific species, few studies simultaneously considered the of ocean individuals (e.g. consequences energy budgets resource partitioning) population level demographic Here we show that increases energetic demands gastropods resulting in altered allocation, i.e. reduced shell size but increased body mass. When scaled up level, long-term...
Abstract Most studies assessing the impacts of ocean acidification (OA) on benthic marine invertebrates have used stable mean pH/pCO2 levels to highlight variation in physiological sensitivities a range taxa. However, many environments experience natural fluctuations carbonate chemistry, and date little attempt has been made understand effect naturally fluctuating seawater pCO2 (pCO2sw) capacity organisms maintain acid–base homeostasis. Here, for first time, we exposed two species sea urchin...
ABSTRACT Regulation of extracellular acid–base balance, while maintaining energy metabolism, is recognised as an important aspect when defining organism's sensitivity to environmental changes. This study investigated the haemolymph buffering capacity and metabolism (oxygen consumption, [l-lactate] [protein]) in early benthic juveniles (carapace length <40 mm) European lobster, Homarus gammarus, exposed elevated temperature PCO2. At 13°C, H. gammarus were able fully compensate for...
Atmospheric particles (aerosols) are the objective of intensive research. In addition to effects on our health, they also have a significant influence climate. Aerosols can be measured in-situ or retrieved using optical remote sensing instruments. Such instru- ments measure upwelling solar radiance, which is scattered in atmosphere as well partially reflected from Earth’s surface. The separation radiance into these components one great challenges for quantitative sensing. A radiative transfer...
