Transgenerational effects alleviate severe fecundity loss during ocean acidification in a ubiquitous planktonic copepod.

Abstract excerpt

Ocean acidification (OA) caused by anthropogenic CO2 emission is projected for thousands of years to come, and significant effects are predicted for many marine organisms. While significant evolutionary responses are expected during such persistent environmental change, most studies consider only short-term effects. Little is known about the transgenerational effects of parental environments or natural selection...
