This study develops a novel CTmax assay to compare thermal acclimation capacity across three sea urchin species, finding significant variation in their upper thermal tolerance and acclimatory responses.

The paper identifies nine putative chromosomal inversions in purple sea urchins, three showing signs of selection, suggesting structural variants contribute to adaptation in marine species with high gene flow.

This study shows microplastics reduce boldness and exploratory activity in zebrafish but increase feeding behavior, with prior size-selective harvesting affecting only exploratory behavior.
