Divergence in Thermal Physiology Could Contribute to Vertical Segregation in Intertidal Ecotypes of Littorina saxatilis
(2021)
Thermal stress is a potentially important selective agent in intertidal marine habitats, but the role that thermal tolerance might play in local adaptation across shore height has been underexplored. Northwest Spain is ...
Geographic variation in thermal physiological performance of the intertidal crab Petrolisthes violaceus along a latitudinal gradient.
Environmental temperature has profound effects on the biological performance and biogeographical distribution of ectothermic species. Variation of this abiotic factor across geographic gradients is expected to produce ...
Thermal niche helps to explain the ability of dung beetles to exploit disturbed habitats
(Scientific Reports, 2020-08-07)
In terrestrial ecosystems, insects face a wide range of temperatures among habitats and time; consequently, the thermal niche is one of the main determinants of habitat selection and temporal patterns of activity. The ...
Inter-population thermal variability and physiological response in the intertidal fish Scartichthys viridis (Blenniidae)
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2007)
Exploring physiological plasticity and local thermal adaptation in an intertidal crab along a latitudinal cline.
Intertidal organisms have evolved physiological mechanisms that enable them to maintain performance and survive during periods of severe environmental stress with temperatures close to their tolerance limits. The level of ...
