TL;DR: A compilation of continuous, high-resolution time series of upper ocean pH, collected using autonomous sensors, over a variety of ecosystems ranging from polar to tropical, open-ocean to coastal, kelp forest to coral reef, reveals a continuum of month-long pH variability with characteristic diel, semi-diurnal, and stochastic patterns of varying amplitudes.

TL;DR: The effects of small magnitude in these urchin larvae are indicative of a potential resilience to near-future levels of ocean acidification and a means to improve the understanding of acclimatization of organisms in a dynamic ecosystem.

TL;DR: An experimental system that unites the culturing needs of larval invertebrates with methods for careful control, monitoring, and manipulation of seawater carbonate chemistry necessary to conduct laboratory-based studies of ocean acidification is presented.

TL;DR: Results suggest that while adult sporophytes of both species are tolerant of high temperatures and low nutrients, reproduction by their microscopic stages is not, and the southern distribution of P. californica, which ends in northern Baja California, Mexico, may be limited by temperature acting on its microscopic stages.

TL;DR: Differences in swimming ability do not appear to adequately explain the disproportionate removal of nonnative fishes via flooding, and behavioral responses to high flows are more likely the mechanism that allows native fish to persist in streams during flood events.
