The power struggle: assessing interacting global change stressors via experimental studies on sharks

IA Bouyoucos, SA Watson, S Planes… - Scientific Reports, 2020 - nature.com
Ocean warming and acidification act concurrently on marine ectotherms with the potential for

Elevated carbon dioxide alters the plasma composition and behaviour of a shark

L Green, F Jutfelt - Biology letters, 2014 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Increased carbon emissions from fossil fuels are increasing the p CO2 of the ocean surface
waters in a process called ocean acidification. Elevated water p CO2 can induce …

Lack of oxidative damage on temperate juvenile catsharks after a long-term ocean acidification exposure

MR Pegado, CP Santos, M Pimentel, R Cyrne… - Marine Biology, 2020 - Springer
Ocean acidification is a consequence of chemical changes driven mainly by a continuous
uptake of carbon dioxide, resulting in pH decrease. This phenomenon represents an …

Responses of a coral reef shark acutely exposed to ocean acidification conditions

JL Rummer, IA Bouyoucos, J Mourier, N Nakamura… - Coral Reefs, 2020 - Springer
Anthropogenic ocean acidification (OA) is a threat to coral reef fishes, but few studies have
investigated responses of high-trophic-level predators, including sharks. We tested the …
