Effects of ocean acidification and warming on the development and biochemical r...
Maia, Simão; Marques, Sónia C.; Dupont, Sam; Neves, Marta; Pinto, Henrique J.; Reis, João; Leandro, Sérgio M.Anthropogenic CO2 emissions have led to the warming and acidification of the oceans. Although, there is a growing of evidence showing that simultaneous occurrence of ocean acidification and ocean warming are threats to marine organisms, information on their combined effect on coastal shrimp species remains scarce. The purpose of this study was to estimate the combined effects of seawater acidification and warmi...
Elevated temperature, but not decreased pH, impairs reproduction in a temperate...
Lopes, Ana F.; Faria, Ana M.; Dupont, SamFish reproductive success is linked to the ability of couples to mate and produce clutches that successfully hatch. Environmental stressors like high temperature and low pH can jeopardize this energetically costly process. In this study, exposure to high temperature and low pH was tested on a marine temperate species, Gobiusculus flavescens, to evaluate effects on reproductive performance. Breeding pairs were a...
Deciphering mollusc shell production: the roles of genetic mechanisms through t...
Clark, Melody S.; Peck, Lloyd S.; Arivalagan, Jaison; Backeljau, Thierry; Berland, Sophie; Cardoso, João CR; Caurcel, Carlos; Chapelle, GauthierMost molluscs possess shells, constructed from a vast array of microstructures and architectures. The fully formed shell is composed of calcite or aragonite. These CaCO3 crystals form complex biocomposites with proteins, which although typically less than 5% of total shell mass, play significant roles in determining shell microstructure. Despite much research effort, large knowledge gaps remain in how molluscs ...
