Epifaunal density differences on coralline algae compared to fleshy algae in the Yachats, Oregon intertidal community

Creator:

Gani, Christopher D.

Abstract:

Ocean acidification has led to many issues regarding the decline of calcifying organisms, such as coralline algae. Acidified sea water inhibits precipitation of CaCO3 that affects the structure and growth of coralline algae. Therefore, non-calcifying algae may outcompete calcifying algae in the intertidal systems with future acidic ocean condition. Variety...

Coralline and fleshy algae volume density on epifaunal communities

Creator:

Field, Samuel J. and Gani, Christopher D.

Abstract:

Carbon dioxide emissions greatly affect the carbon chemistry mechanisms within the ocean. Carbon absorbed by the ocean, drops the pH level and creates an environment that is acidic. Acidic conditions prevent calcification mechanisms in coralline algae, and hinder their ability to establish within the intertidal. Coralline algae display structural relevance...

Ocean acidification is causing increased predation on Mytilus californianus by specialist and generalist crabs

Creator:

Toner, Miranda M.

Abstract:

Ocean acidification is negatively impacting organisms that use calcium carbonate to form their shells. Increasing OA conditions are putting a strain on these calcareous animals by weakening their shells, thus causing them to become more vulnerable to predation. Worsening shell integrity may lead to a decline in hard-shelled prey populations...
