Temperature modulates the response of the thermophilous sea urchin Arbacia lixula early life stages to CO2-driven acidification
Paola Gianguzza,Giulia Visconti,Fabrizio Gianguzza,Salvatrice Vizzini,Gianluca Sarà,Sam Dupont +5 more
TL;DR: The interactive effects of increased temperature and of decreased pH on fertilization and early development of A. lixula were investigated to highlight the importance of considering a range of temperatures covering today and the future environmental variability in any experiment aiming at studying the impact of ocean acidification.

Experimental rearing of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus fed with discards of the lettuce Lactuca sativa in a sea-based system
TL;DR: Results support the exploitation of L. sativa as the main ingredient in a manufactured diet for echinoculture of P. lividus by employing diets formulated with discard ingredients combined with a low-cost sea-based rearing system.

Morphological response of the larvae of Arbacia lixula to near-future ocean warming and acidification
Giulia Visconti,Fabrizio Gianguzza,Emanuela Butera,Valentina Costa,Salvatrice Vizzini,Maria Byrne,Paola Gianguzza +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the thermotolerance of larval development in context of regional warming and found that increased temperature ameliorated the stunting effect of acidification on growth, which indicates that this species has acclimatized or adapted its reproductive biology to the broad environmental conditions of the Mediterranean Sea.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors compared the heavy metal concentration found in different tissues and eggs of the loggerhead sea turtle and evaluated the potential ecotoxicological risk for this important species and highlighted the importance of multi-element biomonitoring by increasing knowledge on the biodistribution of 18 heavy metals and the related potential risks for C. caretta.
