“…Consistent with theoretical predictions (Poloczanska et al, 2007), empirical studies indicate that elevated water temperature negatively affects physiology (Uthicke et al, 2014), immunity (Brothers et al, 2016), growth (Wolfe, Dworjanyn & Byrne, 2013; Zhao et al, 2015), gonad development (Uthicke et al, 2014), larval development (Kamya et al, 2014; Garcia, Clemente & Hernandez, 2015) and behaviors (Zhao et al, 2014; Brothers & McClintock, 2015; Sherman, 2015) of echinoderms in intertidal and shallow waters. However, most of these reports were based on short-term perturbation experiments and do not provide enough time to bring about potential acclimation to a new environment (Dupont et al, 2013).…”

Increases in ocean temperature due to climate change are predicted to change the behaviors of marine invertebrates. Altered behaviors of keystone ecosystem engineers such as echinoderms will have consequences for the fitness of individuals, which are expected to flow on to the local ecosystem. Relatively few studies have investigated the behavioral responses of echinoderms to long-term elevated temperature. We investigated the effects of exposure to long-term (∼31 weeks) elevated temperature (∼3 °C above the ambient water temperature) on covering, sheltering and righting behaviors of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius. Long-term elevated temperature showed different effects on the three behaviors. It significantly decreased covering behavior, including both covering behavior reaction (time to first covering) and ability (number of covered sea urchins and number of shells used for covering). Conversely, exposure to long-term elevated temperature significantly increased sheltering behavior. Righting response in S. intermedius was not significantly different between temperature treatments. The results provide new information into behavioral responses of echinoderms to ocean warming.

“…Increased temperature or OA may neutralize the adverse effects of the other factors on some species. For example, increased temperature compensated for the negative effects of OA on Paracentrotus lividus larval development and settlement (García and Clemente 2015). Simultaneous acidification offsetting the negative effect of increased temperature on reproductive parameters and hatching success was observed for the copepod Calanus finmarchicus (Pedersen and Hanssen 2018).…”

The oceans are taking up over one million tons of fossil CO 2 per hour, resulting in increased pCO 2 and declining pH, leading to ocean acidification (OA). At the same time, accumulation of CO 2 and other greenhouse gases is causing ocean warming, which enhances stratification with thinned upper mixed layers, exposing planktonic organisms to increasing levels of daytime integrated UV radiation. Ocean warming also reduces dissolved oxygen in seawater, resulting in ocean deoxygenation. All these ocean global changes are impacting marine ecosystems and effects are well documented for each individual driver (pH, oxygen, temperature, UV). However, combined effects are still poorly understood, strongly limiting our ability to project impacts at regional or local levels. Different regions are often exposed (and often adapted) to contrastingly different physical and chemical environmental conditions and organisms, and ecosystems from different parts of the world will be exposed to unique combinations of stressors in the future. Understanding the modulating role of adaptation, species niche and stressors' interaction is key. This review, being a non-exhaustively explored one, aims to provide an overview on understandings of ecophysiological effects of OA and its combination with covarying drivers, mainly warming, deoxygenation and solar UV radiation. We propose a testable hypothetical model as well as future research perspectives.

“…Marine herbivores often use several habitats in the course of their complex life cycles, often involving an open pelagic state. Differences in settlement are likely highly dependent on inherent local or regional characteristics like nutrient availability, currents or seawater temperature (Cardona et al 2013, García et al 2015. Post recruitment, populations can have habitat-specific constraints linked to the structure and species diversity of each particular habitat.…”

Herbivore control in connected seascapes: habitat determines when population regulation occurs in the life history of a key herbivore

Herbivore outbreaks often trigger catastrophic overgrazing events in marine macrophyte ecosystems. The sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus, the dominant herbivore of shallow Mediterranean seascapes, is capable of precipitating shifts to barrens when its populations explode.P. lividus is found ubiquitously in rocky macroalgal communities and in sandy seagrass meadows of Posidonia oceanica, two of the most important subtidal habitats in the Mediterranean. We explored if habitat-specific regulation across the principal stages of the urchin life cycle could help explain the persistence of these populations in connected mosaics. We measured each of three relevant ecological process (i.e. settlement, post-settlement survival and predation) across a wide stretch of the Mediterranean coast (ca. 600km). Our results show that habitat-specific regulation is critical in determining urchin populations: each habitat limited urchin sub-populations at different life stages. Settlement was never limiting; urchins settled at similar rates in both habitats across the coast. Post-settlement survival was a clear bottleneck, particularly in seagrass meadows where no juvenile urchins were recorded. Despite this bottleneck in seagrasses, adult urchin populations were very similar in both seagrass and macroalgal habitats indicating that other processes (potentially migration) could be key in determining adult distributions across the mosaic. The fact that population regulation is clearly habitat-specific suggests that sea urchin populations may be significantly buffered from bottlenecks in mixed seascapes where both habitats co-occur. Sea urchin populations can therefore persist across the seascape despite strong habitat-specific regulation either by maintaining reproductive output in one habitat or by migrating between them. By affording these regulatory escapes to habitat-modifying species, patchy mosaics may be much more prone to herbivore outbreaks and a host of cascading effects that come in their wake.3
