Response of copepods to elevated pCO2 and environmental copper as co-stressors--a multigenerational study.
We examined the impacts of ocean acidification and copper as co-stressors on the reproduction and population level responses of the benthic copepod Tisbe battagliai across two generations. Naupliar production, growth, and cuticle elemental composition were determined for four pH values: 8.06 (contro...
