Journal ArticleDOI
Species-specific responses to ocean acidification should account for local adaptation and adaptive plasticity.
Cristian A. Vargas,Nelson A. Lagos,Nelson A. Lagos,Marco A. Lardies,Marco A. Lardies,Cristian Duarte,Cristian Duarte,Patricio H. Manríquez,Victor M. Aguilera,Victor M. Aguilera,Bernardo R. Broitman,Bernardo R. Broitman,Steve Widdicombe,Sam Dupont +13 more
TL;DR: A simple index taking into account the natural pCO2 variability is proposed, for a better interpretation of the potential consequences of ocean acidification on species inhabiting variable coastal ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine ecosystem engineering by the alien ascidian Pyura praeputialis on a mid-intertidal rocky shore
TL;DR: Differences in the shape of the species frequency distribution between the communities inhabiting the engi- neered and non-engineered mid-intertidal habitats were found, however, within the same habitat type, there was no difference in the speciesfrequency distribution between functional groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of medium-term exposure to elevated pCO2 levels on the physiological energetics of the mussel Mytilus chilensis
Jorge M. Navarro,Rodrigo Torres,Karin Acuña,Cristian Duarte,Patricio H. Manríquez,Marco A. Lardies,Nelson A. Lagos,Cristian A. Vargas,Victor M. Aguilera +8 more
TL;DR: The results of this study clearly indicate that high pCO(2) levels in the seawater have a negative effect on the health of M. chilensis, and the predicted acidification of seawater associated with global climate change could be harmful to this ecologically and commercially important mussel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food supply confers calcifiers resistance to ocean acidification.
Laura Ramajo,Elia Pérez-León,Iris E. Hendriks,Núria Marbà,Dorte Krause-Jensen,Mikael K. Sejr,Martin E. Blicher,Nelson A. Lagos,Ylva S. Olsen,Carlos M. Duarte,Carlos M. Duarte +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown, based on a meta-analysis of existing experimental results assessing the role of food supply in the response of organisms to OA, that food supply consistently confers calcifiers resistance to ocean acidification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity of rocky intertidal benthic communities associated with copper mine tailing discharges in northern Chile.
TL;DR: A 17-month long monitoring study of species richness and biodiversity at five intertidal sites around the point of the tailing discharge of copper mine tailings in northern Chile suggests a possible recovery of the system.
