Climate change predictions indicate global changes in salinity with negative implications for
plankton food webs; an important baseline for functioning of marine ecosystems. Current …

Some larval experiences can produce “latent effects” on post-metamorphic growth or
survival. While it is known that periods of starvation during larval development can cause …

The Ría de Vigo is a semi-enclosed bay with high primary productivity due to the influence of
coastal upwelling-downwelling dynamics. The area is heavily populated and affected by …

Ocean acidification poses a significant threat to calcifying invertebrates by negatively
influencing shell deposition and growth. An organism's performance under ocean …

Globally, average oceanic pH is dropping, and it will continue to decline into the foreseeable
future. This ocean acidification (OA) will exacerbate the natural fluctuations in pH that …
