Table 2 Impacts of high pCO₂ on gene expression and oxygen consumption in marine invertebrate taxa. ‘Metabolic genes’ is a broad term that encompasses any metabolic processes as defined independently in each study. Arrows denote the direction of the response. In instances with both arrows, this reflects either overall differential expression (genes being both up and down regulated), or conflicting results across studies or life-history stages. Dashes indicate a non-significant response. It should be noted that oxygen consumption and gene expression measurements for a particular species may be confined to separate independent studies. Exposure duration and range of pCO₂ tested are inclusive to all studies on noted species. In studies where pCO₂ was not calculated (or only calculated in some studies), pH values are given. Hpf = hour post fertilization, dpf = days post fertilization, d = days, h = hour, wk = weeks, mo = months, field = organisms sampled from variable habitats in the field, generation = exposure carried out across multiple generations
