Many seahorse species are already threatened worldwide, and we do not know how they will endure an additional threat as climate change. Our results show that adult seahorses ( Hippocampus guttulatus ) seem to be relatively well prepared to face future changes in ocean temperature, but not the combined effect of warming and acidification.
