The Big Question Remains
Road Map
Thinking about OA & Evolution: what do we know?
Thinking about OA & Evolution: what do we know?
Adaptation in OA research: what do we need to know?
OA Community headed that way: Breeding experiments on marine invertebrates
A second approach: Experimental evolution in the lab

2. Persistent carry-over effects in early stages
3. Adult condition can change the story

Introducing the OMEGAS
We framed the question:
1. Physiological differences amongst intertidal mussel populations
2. Evidence for cross-site differences & heritable body size in purple urchin larvae
Breeding experiment: Cross Design
Larval culture
Sensitivity to elevated pCO2 varies among and within families
OMEGAS thus far…

Challenges remain!
Exploration of gradients over ecologically-relevant space
Calcification
Larvae raised under elevated CO2 are smaller
