“…In fact, organisms may be able to adjust their physiology, via phenotypic plasticity (acclimatization), e.g. during ontogeny in direct developers such as A. mediterranea (see [29]), or via the selection of genotypes associated with phenotypes best able to cope with conditions found within the CO 2 vents, as in P. dumerilii (see [76]). However, which strategy is adopted (i.e.…”

“…Unfortunately, the nature and significance of physiological plasticity in marine ectotherms during acclimatization to an elevated pCO 2 environment, as well as their potential physiological adaptation to these conditions, remain virtually unexplored (cf. [29]). Such an understanding of when plastic as opposed to genetic changes occur (and vice versa) is crucial if we are to predict how ocean acidification affects species' distribution and abundance patterns, and thus predict the likely responses of marine ectotherms to ongoing climate change.…”

Metabolic rate determines the physiological and life-history performances of ectotherms. Thus, the extent to which such rates are sensitive and plastic to environmental perturbation is central to an organism's ability to function in a changing environment. Little is known of long-term metabolic plasticity and potential for metabolic adaptation in marine ectotherms exposed to elevated p CO 2 . Consequently, we carried out a series of in situ transplant experiments using a number of tolerant and sensitive polychaete species living around a natural CO 2 vent system. Here, we show that a marine metazoan (i.e. Platynereis dumerilii ) was able to adapt to chronic and elevated levels of p CO 2 . The vent population of P. dumerilii was physiologically and genetically different from nearby populations that experience low p CO 2 , as well as smaller in body size. By contrast, different populations of Amphiglena mediterranea showed marked physiological plasticity indicating that adaptation or acclimatization are both viable strategies for the successful colonization of elevated p CO 2 environments. In addition, sensitive species showed either a reduced or increased metabolism when exposed acutely to elevated p CO 2 . Our findings may help explain, from a metabolic perspective, the occurrence of past mass extinction, as well as shed light on alternative pathways of resilience in species facing ongoing ocean acidification.

“…Some animals have the remarkable capacity to acclimate across generations to projected 22 future climate change [1][2][3][4] ; however, the underlying molecular processes are unknown. We 23 sequenced and assembled de novo transcriptomes of adult tropical reef fish exposed 24 developmentally or transgenerationally to projected future ocean temperatures and 25 correlated the resulting expression profiles with acclimated metabolic traits from the 26 same fish.…”

“…Some report improved growth and survival in offspring (Miller et al, 2012;Murray et al, 2014), while others report no or limited capacity for transgenerational acclimation of olfactory responses or predator escape (Allan et al, 2014;Welch et al, 2014). This led to speculation that metabolic traits may have greater potential than behavioural traits for transgenerational acclimation to elevated CO 2 (Welch et al, 2014).…”

Most marine ecologists have in the past 25 years changed from supporting a passive-dispersal paradigm for larval marine fishes to supporting a biophysical-dispersal paradigm wherein the behaviour of larvae plays a central role. Research shows larvae of demersal perciform fishes have considerable swimming and orientation abilities over a major portion of their pelagic larval duration. These abilities depend on sensory function, and some recent research has indicated anthropogenic acidification of the oceans will by the end of the century result in sensory dysfunction. This could strongly alter the ability of fish larvae to orientate in the pelagic environment, to locate suitable settlement habitat, to bet-hedge, and to colonize new locations. This paper evaluates the available publications on the effects of acidification on senses and behaviours relevant to dispersal of fish early life-history stages. A large majority of studies tested CO 2 values predicted for the middle to end of the century. Larvae of fourteen families-all but two perciform-were studied. However, half of studies used Damselfishes (Pomacentridae), and except for swimming, most studies used settlement-stage larvae or later stages. In spite of these taxonomic and ontogenetic restrictions, all but two studies on sensory function (chemosensation, hearing, vision, detection of estuarine cues) found deleterious effects from acidification. The four studies on lateralization and settlement timing all found deleterious effects from acidification. No clear effect of acidification on swimming ability was found. If fish larvae cannot orientate due to sensory dysfunction, their dispersal will, in effect, conform to the passive dispersal paradigm. Modelling incorporating larval behaviour derived from empirical studies indicates that relative to active larvae, passive larvae will have less self-recruitment, higher median and mean dispersal distances, and lower settlement rates: further, bet hedging and colonization of new locations will decrease. The biophysical dispersal paradigm will be lost in theory and in fact, which is predicted to result in lower recruitment and less bet hedging for demersal, perciform fishes. More research is required to determine if the larvae of other Orders will be effected in the same way, or if warm-and cold-water fish faunas will be similarly effected.
