摘要

Anthropogenic climate change poses a serious threat to biodiversity. In marine environments, multiple climate variables, including temperature and CO_2 concentration ([CO_2]), are changing simultaneously. Although temperature has well-documented ecological effects, and many heavily calcified marine organisms experience reduced growth with increased [CO_2], little is known about the combined effects of temperature and [CO_2], particularly on species that are less dependent on calcified shells or skeletons. We manipulated water temperature and [CO_2] to determine the effects on the sea star Pisaster ochraceus, a keystone predator. We found that sea star growth and feeding rates increased with water temperature from 5 ℃ to 21 ℃. A doubling of current [CO_2] also increased - growth rates both with and without a concurrent temperature increase from 12 ℃ to 15 ℃. Increased [CO_2] also had a positive but nonsignificant effect on sea star feeding rates, suggesting [CO_2] may be acting directly at the physiological level to increase growth rates. As in past studies of other marine invertebrates, increased [CO_2] reduced the relative calcified mass in sea stars, although this effect was observed only at the lower experimental temperature. The positive relationship between growth and [CO_2] found here contrasts with previous studies, most of which have shown negative effects of [CO_2] on marine species, particularly those that are more heavily calcified than P. ochraceus. Our findings demonstrate that increased [CO_2] will not have direct negative effects on all marine invertebrates, suggesting that predictions of biotic responses to climate change should consider how different types of organisms will respond to changing climatic variables.
