• Effects of Ocean Acidification and Warming on Sperm Activity and Early Life Stages of the Mediterranean Mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) 

      Vihtakari, Mikko; Hendriks, Iris E.; Holding, Johnna; Renaud, Paul E.; Duarte, Carlos M.; Havenhand, Jon N. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Larval stages are among those most vulnerable to ocean acidification (OA). Projected atmospheric CO2 levels for the end of this century may lead to negative impacts on communities dominated by calcifying taxa with planktonic life stages. We exposed Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) sperm and early life stages to pHT levels of 8.0 (current pH) and 7.6 (2100 level) by manipulating pCO2 ...
    • Macroalgae contribute to nested mosaics of pH variability in a subarctic fjord 

      Krause-Jensen, Dorte; Duarte, Carlos M.; Hendriks, Iris E.; Meire, L; Blicher, M.E.; Marba, Nuria; Sejr, Mikael K (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-19)
      The Arctic Ocean is considered the most vulnerable ecosystem to ocean acidification, and large-scale assessments of pH and the saturation state for aragonite (Ωarag) have led to the notion that the Arctic Ocean is already close to a corrosive state. In high-latitude coastal waters the regulation of pH and Ωarag is, however, far more complex than offshore because increased biological activity and ...
    • Variable individual- and population- level responses to ocean acidification 

      Vihtakari, Mikko; Havenhand, Jon; Renaud, Paul; Hendriks, Iris E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-04-29)
      Population responses to marine climate change are determined by the strength of the selection pressure imposed by changing climate, the genetic variability within the population (i.e., among individuals), and phenotypic plasticity within individuals. Marine climate change research has focused primarily on population-level responses, yet it is at the level of the individual that natural selection ...
    • Warming and CO2 enhance arctic heterotrophic microbial activity 

      Vaqué, Dolors; Lara, Elena; Arrieta, Jesús M.; Holding, Johnna; Sa, Elisabet L; Hendriks, Iris E.; Coello-Camba, Alexandra; Alvarez, Marta; Agusti, Susana; Wassmann, Paul; Duarte, Carlos M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-20)
      Ocean acidification and warming are two main consequences of climate change that can directly affect biological and ecosystem processes in marine habitats. The Arctic Ocean is the region of the world experiencing climate change at the steepest rate compared with other latitudes. Since marine planktonic microorganisms play a key role in the biogeochemical cycles in the ocean it is crucial to ...
