Despite the great interest in the consequences of climate change on the physiological
functioning of marine organisms, indirect and interactive effects of rising temperature and …

Since the industrial revolution, fossil fuel combustion has led to a 30%-increase of the
atmospheric CO 2 concentration, also increasing the ocean partial CO 2 pressure. The …

Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide has led to a decrease in the pH of the ocean, which
influences the speciation of heavy metals and consequently affects metal toxicity in marine …

Due to human activities, predictions for the coming years indicate increasing frequency and
intensity of extreme weather events (rainy and drought periods) and pollution levels, leading …

Ocean acidification processes are major threats to marine calcifying organisms, mostly
affecting biomineralization related processes. Abiotic stressors acting on marine systems do …

We investigated the health conditions of the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis
recruited in the CO 2 vents system of Castello Aragonese at Ischia Island (Mediterranean …

For decades the oceans have been a sink for plastic debris. Over the years several studies
have been focused on the effects of macro-and microplastics on vertebrates, but few have …

The toxicity induced in non-target organisms by pharmaceutical drugs has been the focus of
several studies. In the aquatic environment, most of the studies have been devoted to fish …

Concerns about the environmental effects of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) on marine
ecosystems are increasing. Meanwhile, ocean acidification (OA) has become a global …

The present study evaluated the impacts of predicted seawater acidification and Hg
pollution, when stressors were acting alone and in combination, on the polychaete Hediste …
