Acid-base balance and metabolic response of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus to different seawater pH and temperatures
Purpose: In order to better understand if the metabolic responses of echinoids could be related to their acid-base status in an ocean acidification context, we studied the response of an intertidal sea urchin species, Paracentrotus lividus, submitted to low pH at two different temperatures. Methods:...
