Effect of ocean acidification on the oxygen consumption of the sea urchins Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck, 1816) and Arbacia lixula (Linnaeus, 1758) living in CO2 natural gradients by Robert Fernández-Vilert, Robert Fernández-Vilert, Vanessa Arranz, Vanessa Arranz, Marta Martín-Huete, Marta Martín-Huete, José Carlos Hernández, Sara González-Delgado, Sara González-Delgado, Rocío Pérez-Portela, Rocío Pérez-Portela

“…Additionally, environmental history seemed to influence adaptive capacity, as specimens from fluctuating pH environments exhibited respiration rates similar to those from stable environments with heightened phenotypic plasticity. Overall, our results suggest that both species possess the capacity for metabolic plasticity, which may enhance their resilience to future OA scenarios but likely involve energetic costs. …”
