Abstract
Abstract Our planet is experiencing an increase in the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) unprecedented in the past 800 000 years. About 30% of excess atmospheric CO 2 is absorbed by the oceans, thus increasing the concentration of carbonic acid and reducing the ocean's pH. Species able to survive the physiological stress imposed by ocean acidification may still suffer strong indirect negative consequences. Comparing the tolerance of different species to dissolved CO 2 is a necessary first step towards predicting the ecological impacts of rising CO 2 levels on marine communities. While it is intuitive that not all aquatic species will be affected the same way by CO 2 , one could predict that closely related species, sharing similar life histories and ecology, may show similar tolerance levels to CO 2 . Our ability to create functional groups of species according to their CO 2 tolerance may be crucial in our ability to predict community change in the future. Here, we tested the effects of CO 2 exposure on the antipredator responses of four damselfish species ( Pomacentrus chrysurus, Pomacentrus moluccensis, Pomacentrus amboinensis and Pomacentrus nagasakiensis ). Although being sympatric and sharing the same ecology and life history, the four congeneric species showed striking and unexpected variation in CO 2 tolerance, with CO 2 ‐induced loss of response to predation risk ranging from 30% to 95%. Using P. chrysurus as a model species, we further tested if these behavioural differences translated into differential ability to survive predators under natural conditions. Our results indicate that P. chrysurus larvae raised under CO 2 levels predicted by 2070 and 2100 showed decreased antipredator responses to risk, leading to a five‐ to sevenfold increase in predation‐related mortality in the first few hours of settlement. Examining ocean acidification, along with other environmental variables, will be a critical step in further evaluating ecological responses to predicted climatic change.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
