Ocean acidification affects acid–base physiology and behaviour in a model invertebrate, the California sea hare (Aplysia californica) [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Behavioural impairment following exposure to ocean acidification-relevant CO2 levels has been noted in a broad array of taxa. The underlying cause of these disruptions is thought to stem from alterations of ion gradients (HCO3−/Cl−) across neuronal cell ...
