Climate change is a threat to marine biota because increased atmospheric CO2 is causing
ocean warming, acidification, hypercapnia and decreased carbonate saturation. These …

Dredging, river plumes and natural resuspension events can release sediments into the
water column where they exert a range of effects on underlying communities. In this review …

Global warming and increased atmospheric CO2 are causing the oceans to warm, decrease
in pH and become hypercapnic. These stressors have deleterious impacts on marine …

How barriers to gene flow arise and are maintained are key questions in evolutionary
biology. Speciation research has mainly focused on barriers that occur either before mating …

Ocean acidification may negatively impact the early life stages of some marine invertebrates
including corals. Although reduced growth of juvenile corals in acidified seawater has been …

Ocean acidification is now recognized as a threat to marine ecosystems; however, the effect
of ocean acidification on fertilization in marine organisms is still largely unknown. In this …

'Sperm competition'—where ejaculates from two or more males compete for fertilization—
and 'cryptic female choice'—where females bias this contest to suit their reproductive …

Ocean acidification (OA) is a relatively young yet rapidly developing scientific field.
Assessing the potential response (s) of marine organisms to projected near‐future OA …

Ocean acidification, caused by increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2)
concentrations, is currently an important environmental problem. It is therefore necessary to …

Eggs of teleost fish, unlike those of many other animals, allow sperm entry only at a single
site, a narrow canal in the egg's chorion called the micropyle. In some fish (eg, flounder …
