  abstract = {{E}xcessive {CO}2 in the present-day ocean-atmosphere system is causing ocean acidification, and is likely to cause a severe biodiversity decline in the future, mirroring effects in many past mass extinctions. {F}ossil records demonstrate that organisms surviving such events were often smaller than those before, a phenomenon called the {L}illiput effect. {H}ere, we show that two gastropod species adapted to acidified seawater at shallow-water {CO}2 seeps were smaller than those found in normal p{H} conditions and had higher mass-specific energy consumption but significantly lower whole-animal metabolic energy demand. {T}hese physiological changes allowed the animals to maintain calcification and to partially repair shell dissolution. {T}hese observations of the long-term chronic effects of increased {CO}2 levels forewarn of changes we can expect in marine ecosystems as {CO}2 emissions continue to rise unchecked, and support the hypothesis that ocean acidification contributed to past extinction events. {T}he ability to adapt through dwarfing can confer physiological advantages as the rate of {CO}2 emissions continues to increase.},
