Ocean warming and acidification have been shown to elicit deleterious effects on cephalopod mollusks, especially during early ontogeny, albeit behavior remain largely unexplored. This study aimed evaluate, for the first time, effect of end-of-the-century projected levels ocean (W; + 3 °C) (A; 980 µatm pCO2) Sepia officinalis hatchlings' exploratory ability camouflage in different substrate complexities (sand black white gravel). Cuttlefish were recorded open field tests, from which mobility...
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have doubled in frequency since the 1980s and are projected to be exacerbated during this century. MHWs been shown trigger harmful algal blooms (HABs), with severe consequences marine life human populations. Within context, study aims understand, for first time, how impact key biological toxicological parameters of paralytic shellfish toxin (PST) producer Gymnodinium catenatum, a dinoflagellate inhabiting temperate tropical coastal waters. Two MHW were...
Climate change is leading to the loss of oxygen content in oceans and endangering survival many marine species. Due sea surface temperature warming changing circulation, ocean has become more stratified consequently losing its content. Oviparous elasmobranchs are particularly vulnerable as they lay their eggs coastal shallow areas, where experience significant oscillations levels. Here, we investigated effects deoxygenation (93% air saturation) hypoxia (26% during a short-term period (six...
Abstract Animal cognition is deeply influenced by interactions with the environment. A notable example of sophisticated in animal kingdom described mutualistic relationship between cleaner fish and clients, where decision-making processes play a pivotal role partner choice survival. In this context, while extensive research has explored wrasse Labroides dimidiatus , its Caribbean counterparts, Elacatinus spp ., have been comparatively inadequately evaluated. study, we used plexiglass plates...
Animal cognition is deeply influenced by interactions with the environment. A notable example of sophisticated in animal kingdom described mutualistic relationship between cleaner fish and clients, where decision-making processes play a pivotal role partner choice survival. In this context, while extensive research has explored wrasse Labroides dimidiatus , it important to note that studies on other species its Caribbean counterparts, Elacatinus spp., are limited. Therefore, extend our...
Ocean deoxygenation and standing levels of hypoxia are shrinking fundamental niches, particularly in coastal areas, yet documented repercussions on species development behaviour limited. Here, we tackled the impacts (7 mg O 2 l −1 ), mild (nocturnal 5 ) severe cuttlefish ( Sepia officinalis (hatching success, time, mantle length), cognition (ability to learn individually socially) camouflage explore its surroundings spatially). We found that yielded lower survival rates, smaller body sizes...
Abstract The ocean is undergoing deoxygenation and the spread of hypoxic areas. Ocean standing levels hypoxia are shrinking fundamental niches, particularly in coastal areas, yet documented repercussions on species development behavior limited. Here, we tackled impacts (7 mg O2 L -1 ), mild (nocturnal 5 severe (2 ) cuttlefish ( Sepia officinalis (hatching success, time, mantle length) behavior, i.e., ability to learn (associative-and socially), camouflage, explore its surroundings spatially....
Abstract Ocean deoxygenation and warming have been shown to pose a growing threat the health of marine organisms ecosystems. Yet, potential for acclimation adaptation these threats remains poorly understood. The aim this study was evaluate effects transgenerational exposure reduced oxygen availability elevated seawater temperature on chemosensory-dependent mating mechanisms male amphipods Gammarus locusta . After exposure, number individuals that reached adulthood (in F0 F2) gauged, adult...

The aim this study was evaluate effects transgenerational exposure reduced oxygen availability elevated seawater temperature on chemosensory-dependent mating mechanisms male amphipods Gammarus locusta. Three subsequent generations were exposed four experimental treatments 30 days: 1) present-day...

MHWs been shown trigger harmful algal blooms (HABs), with severe consequences marine life human populations. Gymnodinium catenatum , a paralytic shellfish toxin (PST) producer inhabits temperate tropical coastal waters. This study aims understand, for first time, how impact several parameters relating cell growth production of species. For that, two MHW were...
