Due to global warming, animals are experiencing heat stress (HS), affecting many organic functions and species' survival. In this line, some characteristics of immune cells in sea urchins subjected short-term HS were evaluated.

Abstract Ocean acidification is considered detrimental to marine calcifiers, but mounting contradictory evidence suggests a need revisit this concept. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aim critically re‐evaluate the prevailing paradigm of negative effects ocean on calcifiers. Based 5153 observations from 985 studies, many calcifiers (e.g., echinoderms, crustaceans, cephalopods) are found be tolerant near‐future (pH ≈ 7.8 by year 2100), coccolithophores, calcifying algae, corals appear sensitive. Calcifiers generally more sensitive at larval stage than adult stage. Over 70% in growth calcification non‐negative, implying acclimation capacity acidification. can mediated phenotypic plasticity physiological, mineralogical, structural, molecular adjustments), transgenerational plasticity, increased food availability, or species interactions. The results suggest that impacts less deleterious initially thought as their adaptability has been underestimated.

Abstract Although cross generation (CGP) and multigenerational (MGP) plasticity have been identified as mechanisms of acclimation to global change, the weight evidence indicates that parental conditioning over generations is not a panacea rescue stress sensitivity in offspring. For many species, there were no benefits conditioning. Even when improved performance was observed, this waned time within or across fitness declined. CGP MGP studies resilient species with tolerant genotypes wild populations selected family lines. Several bivalves possess favourable tolerance phenotypically plastic traits potentially associated genetic adaptation life habitats where they routinely experience temperature and/or acidification stress. These will be important help ‘climate proof’ shellfish ventures. Species are naturally those broad range environmental conditions good candidates provide insights into physiological molecular involved MGP.

As result, present stressors shock‐type exposure at rates much faster than projected scenarios.

Abstract For nearly a decade, the metazoan-focused research community has explored impacts of ocean acidification (OA) on marine animals, noting that changes in chemistry can impact calcification, metabolism, acid-base regulation, stress response and behavior organisms hold high ecological economic value. Because OA interacts with several key physiological processes organisms, transcriptomics become widely-used method to characterize whole organism responses molecular level as well inform mechanisms explain phenotypes observed OA. In past there been notable rise studies examine transcriptomic metazoans, here we attempt summarize findings across these studies. We find vary dramatically their pH although common patterns are often observed, including shifts ion metabolic processes, calcification mechanisms. also see examining organismal multi-stressor context, reporting synergistic effects temperature. addition, is an increase use evolutionary potential adapt conditions future through population transgenerational experiments. Overall, literature reveals complex OA, which some will face more dramatic consequences than others. This have wide-reaching communities ecosystems whole.

Abstract Ocean acidification (OA), from seawater uptake of anthropogenic CO2, has a suite negative effects on the ability marine invertebrates to produce and maintain their skeletons. Increased organism pCO2 causes hypercapnia, an energetically costly physiological stress. OA alters carbonate chemistry, limiting available form calcium (CaCO3) minerals used build The reduced saturation state CaCO3 also corrosion structures. Global change is accelerating coastal driven by land-run off (e.g. acid soil leachates, tannic acid). Building maintaining biomaterials in face changing climate will depend balance between calcification dissolution. Overall, response environmental acidification, many calcifiers less biomineral so have smaller body size. Studies skeleton development echinoderms molluscs across life stages show stunting effect OA.

The variations induced by treatment were five different tests, novel tank diving, light dark preference, social mirror biting, Y-Maze which are standard paradigms specifically tailored for to assess their anxiety-like behaviour, boldness, aggressiveness, explorative respectively. Proteomic data revealed that several proteins involved in energy metabolism, messenger RNA translation, protein synthesis, folding degradation, cytoskeleton organisation synaptic vesiculation regulated differently extreme temperatures. results showed behaviours increase compared those or whereas anxiety-related signalling pathways downregulated.
