OA lecture 3- Jasmine Flashcards

1
Q

Discuss the biological impacts of ocean acidification on a range of organisms- under local pH

A

Organisms modify the biochemistry of their immediate environment, through their behaviour (e.g., burrow irrigation)

Q

What are the non- biological impacts of ocean acidification on a range of organisms- under natural variability in pH

Net carbon production & calcification
Photosynthesis & respiration

Q

the biological impacts of ocean acidification on a range of organisms- under short term increase in CO2

A

Cinema… short term exposure is not a problem- no effect had long term.

Q

how does adult exposure to high Co2 influecne offspring response?

A

Larvae from wild oysters lower survival under high CO2 irrespective of adult conditioning

Rate of development to umbonate larvae (9 days) and eyed larvae (19 days) sign. reduced under high CO2 and when adults were exposed

Growth sign. reduced under high CO2 and with adult exposure

Selective breeding had positive carry-over effects on larvae

Q

when larvae were bred in high CO2 Vs unxposed larvae, what was the outcome? oysters

A

Overall, selectively bred larvae more resilient than wild larvae
Capacity to acclimate or adapt to elevated CO2

Q

how does the community structure appear in a vent area compared to a non-vent area?

A

vent: less diverse + complex
non-vent: Highly diverse & structurally complex ie. coral reef

Q

if molluscs have different responses to climate pressures why is this? in OA

A

shell strucure- ie. groves, divits etc and SA
- organic layers which protect the shells or skeletons

Q

why might some specie thrive in a changing climate with higher light intensity?

A

^photosynthesis
i.e. seagrass= bigger seeds

Q

if organisms are continually exposed to naturally changing environmental conditions, why are they responding so much?

A

it is the rate of change and the shifting baseline that is the problem

Q

what are the downfalls of knowledge largely being lab-based and thus short term experiments?

A

Little incorporation of acclimation or adaptation

Long-term effects may be different to what short-term experiments suggest
