TL;DR: This work focuses on conceptual models that, when considered in the context of acidification, yield explicit predictions regarding a spectrum of population- and community-level effects, from narrowing of species ranges and shifts in patterns of demographic connectivity, to modified consumer-resource relationships, to ascendance of weedy taxa and loss of species diversity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of ocean acidification on the structure and complexity of coastal marine biogenic habitat have been broadly overlooked, and the authors explore how declining pH and carbonate saturation may affect the structural complexity of four major biogenic habitats.

TL;DR: The results implied that the community composition and cell density of bacteria in biofilms, which can vary with local environmental conditions, may allow larvae of the 2 barnacles and H. elegans, respectively, to distinguish between habitats with different environmental conditions.

TL;DR: It was hypothesized that changes in the bacterial community profile in the biofilm affect the attractiveness of theBiofilm to barnacle larvae and, thus, may determine the behavior (accepting or rejecting a surface) of settling larvae.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the energy content at metamorphosis is of critical importance for initial growth of juvenile barnacles and emphasize the dependency of the physiological performance of early juvenile Barnacle Balanus amphitrite Darwin on the larval exposure to food.
