Journal Article
Rotchell, J. M., & Ostrander, G. K. (2011). Molecular toxicology of corals: A review. Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part B: Critical Reviews, 14(8), 571-592. https://doi.org/10.1080/10937404.2011.615112

Coral reefs worldwide have become increasingly affected by a phenomenon known as "coral bleaching," the loss of the symbiotic algae from the host corals. The underlying causes and mechanism(s) of coral bleaching are not well known, although several h... Read More about Molecular toxicology of corals: A review.

Analytical challenges and the development of biomarkers to measure and to monitor the effects of ocean acidification (2011)
Journal Article
Hardege, J., Rotchell, J., Terschak, J., & Greenway, G. (2011). Analytical challenges and the development of biomarkers to measure and to monitor the effects of ocean acidification. Trends in Analytical Chemistry, 30(8), 1320-1326. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trac.2011.07.004

Changing ocean-carbonate chemistry caused by oceanic uptake of anthropogenic atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to the formation of carbonic acid, thus lowering the pH of the sea with predictions of a decrease from current levels at 8.15 to 7.82 by the...

Identification of Reproduction-Specific genes associated with maturation and estrogen exposure in a marine bivalve Mytilus edulis (2011)
Journal Article
Ciocan, C. M., Cubero-Leon, E., Minier, C., & Rotchell, J. M. (2011). Identification of Reproduction-Specific genes associated with maturation and estrogen exposure in a marine bivalve Mytilus edulis. PLoS ONE, 6(7), e22326. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0022326

Background: While it is established that vertebrate-like steroids, particularly estrogens (estradiol, estrone) and androgens (testosterone), are present in various tissues of molluscs, it is still unclear what role these play in reproductive endocrin...
