Relationship between CO2-driven changes in extracellular acid-base balance and cellular immune response in two polar echinoderm species
2012
Green sea urchins were able to adjust their internal pH level within 5 days after being placed in ocean acidification conditions, but sea stars (Leptasterias polaris) were not. Internal pH did not appear to be related to immune response. (Laboratory study)
