¿Supervivientes climáticos? Erizos de mar usan la costa de La Palma como refugio para adaptarse a océanos cada vez más ácidos
Un estudio demuestra que la especie ‘Arbacia lixula’ redujo su tamaño y reforzó su caparazón en el litoral de Fuencaliente, donde las fugas naturales de CO2 derivadas del vulcanismo activo de la isla ...

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger? 💪🌊🫧
At a Fuencaliente CO₂ vent, Arbacia lixula shows morphological plasticity under low pH: smaller sizes, jaw and shorter spines.

Could natural CO₂ vents shape biodiversity patterns beyond species richness? 🌊✨
In our latest study, we found molecular evidence supporting the Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis under ocean acidification—both at the organism and community level.

Can marine species evolve in response to ocean acidification? 🌊🧬
We studied the sea urchin Arbacia lixula from a natural CO₂ vent (La Palma) using genome-wide SNPs.
Results reveal signals of local adaptation to acidified conditions.

What happens to biodiversity under long-term acidification? 🧬
We applied high-resolution metabarcoding to benthic samples from the La Palma CO2 Vent. Results? Surprisingly high taxonomic richness, even in acidified zones!

🌋 Let me introduce you to the CO₂ vent system at Punta de Fuencaliente, La Palma ( #CanaryIslands ).
This site emits volcanic CO₂ via submarine groundwater discharge, creating a natural pH gradient. An ideal setting to study #OceanAcidification!

What are CO₂ vents? 🌋
They are shallow coastal sites where volcanic CO₂ is naturally released, lowering seawater pH. These areas serve as natural laboratories to study ocean acidification and its impact on marine ecosystems.
