TL;DR: The capacity for rapid evolution in the face of ocean acidification is demonstrated and standing genetic variation could be a reservoir of resilience to climate change in this coastal upwelling ecosystem.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a manipulation experiment in which sodium hydroxide was added to seawater flowing over a natural coral reef community in situ and showed that when ocean chemistry was restored closer to pre-industrial conditions, net community calcification increased, indicating that ocean acidification may already be impairing coral reef growth.

TL;DR: Despite the potential for abundant resources to counteract the consequences of ocean acidification, impacts were never completely negated, suggesting that even under conditions of enhanced primary production and elevated food availability, impacts of Ocean acidification may still accrue in some consumers.

TL;DR: The blue mussel is used as a model species to test how OA affects the growth of a calcifying invertebrate across a wide range of temperatures encompassing their thermal optimum, and the effects of OA on shell growth are highly dependent on temperature.

TL;DR: It is found that on hourly timescales nighttime community calcification is strongly influenced by Ωarag, with greater net calcium carbonate dissolution under more acidic conditions, and nighttime dissolution in these intertidal ecosystems could more than double by 2050.
