Effects of seawater acidification on cell cycle control mechanisms in Strongylocentrotus purpuratus embryos.

Previous studies have shown fertilization and development of marine species can be significantly inhibited when the pH of sea water is artificially lowered. Little mechanistic understanding of these effects exists to date, but previous work has linked developmental inhibition to reduced cleavage rat...
