Direct and diet-mediated indirect effects of ocean acidification do not impact larval slipper limpet Crepidula onyx
Much attention has been given to the effects of ocean acidification (OA), a reduction in sea surface pH caused by the increased uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide. OA is known to directly impact larval development and physiological processes of many marine organisms. In addition, OA is shown to af...

Much attention has been given to the effects of ocean acidification (OA), a reduction in sea surface pH caused by the increased uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
