Short summary

The objective of this study was to determine whether natural variation in environmental exposure changes the sensitivity of thecosome pteropods to high CO₂ and low O₂ by comparing individuals from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Of the species studied, no thecosome showed a change in oxygen consumption in response to high CO₂ alone. Only one species, Limacina retroversa from the Atlantic, showed a reduced metabolic rate in response to the combined treatment.
