Why marine phytoplankton calcify
Calcifying marine phytoplankton—coccolithophores—are some of the most successful yet
enigmatic organisms in the ocean and are at risk from global change. To better understand …

Voltage-Gated Proton Channels: Molecular Biology, Physiology, and Pathophysiology of the HV Family
TE DeCoursey - Physiological reviews, 2013 - journals.physiology.org
Voltage-gated proton channels (HV) are unique, in part because the ion they conduct is
unique. HV channels are perfectly selective for protons and have a very small unitary …

Sensitivity of coccolithophores to carbonate chemistry and ocean acidification
About one-third of the carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere as a result of
human activity has been absorbed by the oceans, where it partitions into the constituent ions …

The Omega myth: what really drives lower calcification rates in an acidifying ocean
The literature on ocean acidification (OA) contains a prevalent misconception that reduced
organismal calcification rates in an acidifying ocean are driven by a reduction in carbonate …
