Ecology Letters (2011) 14 : E1–E2 Abstract Meta‐analysis of experimental results has been interpreted to imply that the calcification response of organisms depositing high Mg‐calcite is more resilient to ocean acidification than organisms depositing aragonite/calcite. This conclusion might be biased by inadequate recognition and categorisation of high Mg‐calcite according to mineral solubility.
