In mosaic marine habitats, such as intertidal zones, ocean acidification (OA) is exacerbated
by high variability of pH, temperature, and biological CO2 production. The nonlinear …

Mollusc shells are a result of the deposition of crystalline and amorphous calcite catalyzed
by enzymes and shell matrix proteins (SMP). Developing a detailed understanding of …

Mytilus coruscus is an economically important marine calcifier living in the Yangtze River
estuary sea area, where seasonal fluctuations in natural pH occur owing to freshwater input …

One of the most salient features of marine bryozoans is their well-calcified skeleton, and
many species in this phylum are important reef-builders. To date, the molecular machinery …

This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activities of α-terpineol against common
foodborne pathogenic bacteria by agar well diffusion, broth microdilution, and colony …

Since the Industrial Revolution, the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) due
to anthropogenic activities has increased at unprecedented rates. One-third of the …

Ocean acidification (OA) adversely impacts initial shell formation of bivalve larvae. Despite
many studies observing large differences in developmental success between distinct …

The reduction in pH from atmospheric inputs of CO 2 (ocean acidification, OA) threatens
marine calcifiers, including the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica), that precipitate …

Inducible prey defences occur when organisms undergo plastic changes in phenotype to
reduce predation risk. When predation pressure varies persistently over space or time, such …
