Their biogeographic history is expected to reflect changes in currents and habitats that have influenced benthic communities, such as the climate-influenced changes that occurred during the Last Glacial Maximum. More recently, however, anthropogenic influences such as shipping transportation

The marine gastropod Onchidium verruculatum has a pair of ocular photoreceptors, the stalk eyes, on the tip of its stalk near the head, as well as several extracephalic photosensory organs. The retinas of the stalk eye consist of two morphologically distinct visual cells, namely, the type I cells equipped with well-developed microvilli and the type II cells with less developed microvilli.

An explanation for variation in impacts of sea star wasting disease across asteroid species remains elusive. Although various traits have been suggested to play a potential role in sea star wasting susceptibility, currently we lack a thorough comparison that explores how life-history and natural history traits shape responses to mass mortality across diverse asteroid taxa.

Mass mortality events are increasing globally in frequency and magnitude, largely as a result of human-induced change. The effects of these mass mortality events, in both the long and short term, are of imminent concern because of their ecosystem impacts. Genomic data can be used to reveal some of the population-level changes associated with mass mortality events. Here, we use reduced-representation

Oxygen bioavailability is declining in aquatic systems worldwide as a result of climate change and other anthropogenic stressors. For aquatic organisms, the consequences are poorly known but are likely to reflect both direct effects of declining oxygen bioavailability and interactions between oxygen and other stressors, including two—warming and acidification—that have received substantial attention

Controversial Roles of Oxygen in Organismal Responses to Climate Warming. Biol. Bull. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-11-16 David Atkinson,Garrath Leighton,Michael Berenbrink
AbstractDespite the global ecological importance of climate change, controversy surrounds how oxygen affects the fate of aquatic ectotherms under warming. Disagreements extend to the nature of oxygen bioavailability and whether oxygen usually limits growth under warming, explaining smaller adult size. These controversies affect two influential hypotheses: gill oxygen limitation and oxygen- and capacity-limited

Predictions for climate change—to lesser and greater extents—reveal a common scenario in which marine waters are characterized by a deadly trio of stressors: higher temperatures, lower oxygen levels, and acidification. Ectothermic taxa that inhabit coastal waters, such as shellfish, are vulnerable to rapid and prolonged environmental disturbances, such as heatwaves, pollution-induced eutrophication

The frequency, magnitude, and duration of marine heatwaves and deoxygenation events are increasing globally.

We used the sea urchin Echinometra lucunter to determine whether mortality occurs faster when deoxygenation events are combined with extreme

Determining the resilience of a species or population to climate change stressors is an important but difficult task because resilience can be affected both by genetically based variation and by various types of phenotypic plasticity. In addition, most of what is known about organismal responses is for single stressors in isolation, but environmental change involves multiple environmental factors acting

Mechanistic Temperature-Size Rule Explanation Should Reconcile Physiological and Mortality Responses to Temperature Biol. Bull. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-10-19 Asta Audzijonyte, Egle Jakubavičiūtė, Max Lindmark, Shane A. Richards
The temperature-size rule is one of the universal rules in ecology and states that ectotherms in warmer waters will grow faster as juveniles, mature at smaller sizes and younger ages, and reach smaller maximum body sizes. Many models have unsuccessfully attempted to reproduce temperature-size rule-consistent life histories by using two-term (anabolism and catabolism) Pütter-type growth models, such

Interactive Effects of Increasing Temperature and Decreasing Oxygen on Coastal Copepods Biol. Bull. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-10-17 Michael R. Roman, James J. Pierson
The copepods of coastal seas are experiencing warming water temperatures, which increase their oxygen demand. In addition, many coastal seas are also losing oxygen because of deoxygenation due to cultural eutrophication. Warming coastal seas have changed copepod species’ composition and biogeographic boundaries and, in many cases, resulted in copepod communities that have shifted in size distribution

Experimental Evolution Shows Body Size Decrease in Response to Hypoxia, with a Complex Effect on Plastic Size Response to Temperature Biol. Bull. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2022-10-04 Aleksandra Walczyńska, Mateusz Sobczyk
There is a scientific debate whether oxygen concentration may be a factor driving the pattern of size decrease at higher temperature. Central to this debate is the fact that oxygen availability relative to demand for living organisms decreases with increasing temperature. We examined whether rotifers Lecane inermis exposed to hypoxic conditions would evolve smaller sizes than rotifers exposed to normoxic

Oxygen levels in the atmosphere and ocean have changed dramatically over Earth history, with major impacts on marine life. Because the early part of Earth’s history lacked both atmospheric oxygen and animals, a persistent co-evolutionary narrative has developed linking oxygen change with changes in animal diversity. Although it was long believed that oxygen rose to essentially modern levels around

Global ocean O2 content has varied significantly across the eons, both shaping and being shaped by the evolutionary history of life on planet Earth. Indeed, past O2 fluctuations have been associated with major extinctions and the reorganization of marine biota. Moreover, its most recent iteration—now anthropogenically driven—represents one of the most prominent challenges for both marine ecosystems

Insular land crabs (Gecarcinidae) can transit between terrestrial and aquatic environments and inhabit vacant ecological niches that other species do not occupy in oceanic islands. During the reproductive period, these crabs migrate between residential and reproductive areas; this is a critical moment because individuals are more vulnerable to stressful conditions, especially species occupying anthropized

Accurate species delimitation is crucial to understanding biodiversity. In the northern Gulf of Mexico, recent genetic evidence has suggested that the tricolor Luidia lawrencei is not a species distinct from the gray Luidia clathrata. We collected Luidia specimens from Apalachee Bay, Florida, and morphologically identified 11 as L. clathrata and 16 as L. lawrencei. We sequenced 1074 bp of the cytochrome

Acute extreme heat events are increasing in frequency and intensity. Understanding their effects on ectothermic organisms’ homeostasis is both important and urgent. In this study we found that the exposure to an acute heat shock (30 °C for 1 hour) repeated for a seven-day period severely suppressed the feeding behavior of laboratory-inbred (W-strain) Lymnaea stagnalis, whereas the first-generation

The locomotion strategy of cephalopods is an important factor that influences their ability to exploit various oceanic environments. Particularly, Metasepia cuttlefish have a unique locomotion strategy; they prefer slow walking (ambling) on the seafloor over swimming. For this locomotion, they use their ventral arms as forelimbs and ambulatory flaps as hindlimbs. This locomotion is similar to the gait

Sea star wasting—marked in a variety of sea star species as varying degrees of skin lesions followed by disintegration—recently caused one of the largest marine die-offs ever recorded on the west coast of North America, killing billions of sea stars. Despite the important ramifications this mortality had for coastal benthic ecosystems, such as increased abundance of prey, little is known about the
