Moderate seawater acidification does not elicit long-term metabolic depression in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis (2010, background): “It has been already revealed that mussel reproduction is highly susceptible to environmental stress such as extreme tem- peratures and elevated pCO2 (Petes et al. 2007; Whitman Miller et al. 2009; Gazeau et al. 2010).”
Will Extreme Climatic Events Facilitate Biological Invasions (2012, background): “In a marine coastal ecosystem in New Zealand, a heat wave caused the weekly high temperature to exceed the maximum from previous years by 7 ̊C; this led to mortality that was an order of magnitude higher for a native mussel than for a non-native mussel species (Petes et al. 2007).”
Combining heat-transfer and energy budget models to predict thermal stress in Mediterranean intertidal mussels (2011, background): “Importantly, these studies have shown that organisms are often living close to their physiological limits well within their geographic range edges, suggesting that increases in physiological stress could potentially lead to the collapse of populations even when there is currently no evidence of mort”
