The current rise of atmospheric CO2 has led to an increased rate of ocean acidification (OA), a process that results in a decrease in oceanic pH. Forecasts predict the rate of OA to further increase, the largest to be seen in the past 300 million yea...

The exposure of the general public to phthalates is widespread as well as quite variable. Many human consumer products consist of a range of phthalates as ingredients of plastic materials. These include building materials, clothing, household furnitu... Read More about The effects of plastic related phthalates (DEHP) upon ragworm, Hediste diversicolor.

Molecular level effects of low seawater pH on the marine polychaete Platynereis dumerilii (2015)

Global changes lead to a measurable reduction of ocean pH. These rapid water chemistry changes are expected to have negative effects on ecosystems and keystone sensitive species. It is predicted that many different physiological processes will be alt... Read More about Molecular level effects of low seawater pH on the marine polychaete Platynereis dumerilii.

Ocean acidification and its effects upon fitness in nereidid polychaetes (2013)

Nereis acuminata is a polychaete species with a unique life cycle. A male and female form a monogamous pair bond, the female lays eggs and dies. The male then fertilises the egg and undertakes sole parental care until the eggs hatch and larvae leave...
