      Widespread ocean acidification (OA) is modifying the chemistry of the global ocean, and the Arctic is recognized as the region where the changes will progress at the fastest rate. Moreover, Arctic species show lower capacity for cellular homeostasis and acid‐base regulation rendering them particularly vulnerable to OA. In the present study, we found physiological differences in OA response across ...
    • Regulation of gene expression is associated with tolerance of the Arctic copepod Calanus glacialis to CO2-acidified sea water 

      Bailey, Allison Michelle; De Wit, Pierre; Thor, Peter; Browman, Howard; Bjelland, Reidun Marie; Shema, Steven; Fields, David M.; Runge, Jeffrey A.; Thompson, Cameron; Hop, Haakon (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-02)
      Ocean acidification is the increase in seawater pCO2 due to the uptake of atmospheric anthropogenic CO2, with the largest changes predicted to occur in the Arctic seas. For some marine organisms, this change in pCO2, and associated decrease in pH, represents a climate change-related stressor. In this study, we investigated the gene expression patterns of nauplii of the Arctic copepod Calanus glacialis ...
