Developmental and transcriptomic responses of Hawaiian bobtail squid early stages to ocean warming and acidification.

ABSTRACT: Cephalopods play a central ecological role across all oceans and realms. However, under the current climate crisis, their physiology and behaviour are impacted, and we are beginning to comprehend the effects of environmental stressors at a molecular level. Here, we study the Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes), known for its specific binary symbiosis with the bioluminescent bacterium Vibrio fischeri acquired post-hatching. We aim to understand the response (i.e., developmental and molecular) of E. scolopes after the embryogenetic exposure to different conditions: i) standard conditions (control), ii) increased CO₂ (ΔpH 0.4 units), iii) warming (+3°C), or iv) a combination of the two treatments. We observed a decrease in hatching success across all tre
