Ocean acidification (OA) may interact with anthropogenic pollutants, such as heavy metals
(HM), to represent a threat to marine organisms and ecosystems. Here, we perform a …

Ocean acidification potentially influences the biotoxicity of metals and the antioxidant
defense systems of marine organisms. This study investigated how pCO 2-driven seawater …

Interactive effects of trace metal contamination, ocean warming, and CO 2-driven
acidification on the structure of a meiofaunal benthic community was assessed. Meiofauna …

The sea urchins Paracentrotus lividus and Arbacia lixula have a key role in benthic
dynamics and they are often used to assess the toxicity of environmental contaminants. The …

Global ocean pCO 2 is increasing as a result of anthropogenic CO 2 emissions, driving a
decline in seawater pH. However, coastal waters already undergo fluctuations in pCO 2/pH …

This study aimed to assess the combined effects of ocean acidification (OA) and pollution to
the polychaete Syllis prolifera inhabiting the CO 2 vent system of the Castello Aragonese …

Understanding metal toxicity to benthic systems is still an ecotoxicological priority and,
although numerous biomarkers exist, a multi-biomarker and endpoint approach with …

Marine fish tend to accumulate heavy metals (HM) in various body parts, which biomagnifies
in the food chain. Consumption of fish with elevated HM levels by fish-eating population, is …

Calcifying organisms are being adversely affected by climate change, including CO2-
induced acidification and anthropogenic pollution leading to metal exposure. These factors …
