英文摘要 | Climate change will increase the frequency and intensity of extreme climatic events (e.g., storms) that result in repeated pulses of hyposalinity in nearshore ecosystems. Sea urchins inhabit these ecosystems and are stenohaline (restricted to salinity levels similar to 32 parts per thousand), thus are particularly susceptible to hyposalinity events. As key benthic omnivores, sea urchins use hydrostatic adhesive tube feet for numerous functions, including attachment to and locomotion on the substratum as they graze for food. Hyposalinity severely impacts sea urchin locomotor and adhesive performance but several ecologically relevant and climate change-related questions remain. First, do sea urchin locomotion and adhesion acclimate to repeated pulses of hyposalinity? Second, how do tube feet respond to tensile forces during single and repeated hyposalinity events? Third, do the negative effects of hyposalinity exposure persist following a return to normal salinity levels? To answer these questions, we repeatedly exposed green sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) to pulses of three different salinities (control: 32 parts per thousand, moderate hyposalinity: 22 parts per thousand, severe hyposalinity: 16 parts per thousand) over the course of two months and measured locomotor performance, adhesive performance, and tube foot tensile behavior. We also measured these parameters 20 h after sea urchins returned to normal salinity levels. We found no evidence that tube feet performance and properties acclimate to repeated pulses of hyposalinity, at least over the timescale examined in this study. In contrast, hyposalinity has severe consequences on locomotion, adhesion, and tube foot tensile behavior, and these impacts are not limited to the hyposalinity exposure. Our results suggest both moderate and severe hyposalinity events have the potential to increase sea urchin dislodgment and reduce movement, which may impact sea urchin distribution and their role in marine communities. |
