It is suggested that sensitive marine organisms may have the capacity to acclimate or adapt to elevated Pco2 over the next century and a change in energy turnover indicated by SMR may be a key process involved.

The importance of echinoderms in maintaining marine ecosystem stability and the disastrous effects of their removal due to disease will require future collaborations between ecologists and immunologists working towards understanding and preserving marine habitats.

The Sydney Rock Oyster genome provides a valuable resource for future research in molluscan biology, evolution and environmental resilience, and its close relatedness to Crassostrea will further comparative studies, advancing the means for improved oyster agriculture and conservation.

It was found that the capacity of adults to regulate extracellular pH at elevatedCO2 was improved if they had a prior history of transgenerational exposure to elevated CO2, and subsequent transgenerations led to an increase in the resilience of their larval and juvenile offspring.

A role for interleukin-1 in invertebrate host defense mechanisms is demonstrated and the energy requirements and involvement of cellular cytoskeletal elements in phagocytosis by bladder amoebocytes were similar to those of mammalian macrophages.
