Response to technical comment on `meta‐analysis reveals negative yet variable effects of ocean acidification on marine organisms'
Ecology Letters (2011) 14: E1–E2 Abstract It has been proposed that crustaceans should be excluded from a comparison of biological responses to ocean acidification among organisms with different calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) forms in their calcified structures. We re‐analysed our data without crustace...

| Summary: | Ecology Letters (2011) 14: E1–E2 Abstract It has been proposed that crustaceans should be excluded from a comparison of biological responses to ocean acidification among organisms with different calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) forms in their calcified structures. We re‐analysed our data without crustaceans and found high variation in organismal responses within CaCO 3 categories. We conclude that the CaCO 3 polymorph alone does not predict sensitivity, and a consideration of functional differences among organisms is necessary for predicting variation in response to acidification. |
