“…As hypometabolic and osmoconformers echinoids are considered to be particularly vulnerable to climate and global change drivers (see Dupont & Thorndyke, 2013), as also evidenced by a growing number of studies investigating the effects of OW and OA on urchin's acid-base status (e.g., Miles et al, 2007Spicer & Widdicombe, 2012), calcification (e.g., Stumpp, Trübenbach, et al, 2012), growth (e.g., Albright et al, 2012) increases. This results to some extent in the increase of bicarbonate ions concentration ([HCO3 − ]) (see Farmanfarmaian, 1966;Miles et al, 2007;Stumpp, Trübenbach, et al, 2012;Collard et al, 2013;Collard, Ridder, David, Dehairs, & Dubois, 2015). However, the inter-individuals approach we adopted revealed a pronounced effect of temperature on the acid-base status of P. lividus as individuals' physiological parameters were all positively affected in urchins exposed at 20°C.…”
