Short-term metabolic and growth responses of the cold-water coral lophelia pertusa to ocean acidification (2013, background): “…particular threat as they inhabit a much larger bathymetric range than tropical corals, and as such are closer to the ASH (Fautin et al., 2009; Form and Riebesell, 2012; Guinotte et al., 2006; Kleypas, 2006; McCulloch et al., 2012a; Roberts et al., 2006; Thresher et al., 2011; Turley et al., 2007).”
Biological mechanisms supporting adaptation to ocean acidification in coastal ecosystems (2015, unknown): “…pH may represent an adaptive mechanism enabling these deep-sea calcifiers (e.g. Desmophyllum dianthus and Lophelia. pertusa) to occupy a unique niche where the seawater saturation state is close to undersaturation (i.e. Ωsw ~1), or in some cases undersaturated with Ωsw <1 (Thresher et al., 2011).”
