Adaptive capacity of the sea urchin Heliocidaris erythrogramma to ocean change stressors: responses from gamete performance to the juvenile
To predict impacts of ocean acidification and warming on the responses of marine populations, it is important to determine an organism’s capacity for phenotypic plasticity and genetic adaptation. We determined the effects of near-future acidification and warming across the life cycle of Heliocidaris...

To predict impacts of ocean acidification and warming on the responses of marine populations, it is important to determine an organism’s capacity for phenotypic plasticity and genetic adaptation.
