Ocean acidification accelerates reef bioerosion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In the recent discussion how biotic systems may react to ocean acidification caused by the rapid rise in carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO(2)) in the marine realm, substantial research is devoted to calcifiers such as stony corals.

Low Bioerosion Rates on Inshore Turbid Reefs of Western Australia [PDF]
Diversity, 2023 Bioerosion on inshore reefs is expected to increase with global climate change reducing reef stability and accretionary potential. Most studies investigating bioerosion have focused on external grazers, such as parrotfish and urchins, whose biomass is ...

Euendolithic Cyanobacteria and Proteobacteria Together Contribute to Trigger Bioerosion in Aquatic Environments [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Shellfish, mussels, snails, and other aquatic animals, which assimilate limestone (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) to build shells and skeletons, are effective carbon sinks that help mitigate the greenhouse effect.

The earliest fossil cetacean with Osedax borings: narrowing the spatiotemporal gap between Cretaceous marine reptiles and late Cenozoic whales [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceBorings of the extant bone-eating worm Osedax have previously been found in Cenozoic cetaceans and Cretaceous marine reptiles. The stratigraphically youngest Cretaceous example is from the Maastrichtian, and, until now, the oldest Cenozoic example was ...
