Climate warming can affect the developmental rate and embryonic survival of ectothermic
species. However, it is largely unknown if the embryos of populations from different thermal …

Environmental temperature plays an important role in shaping the distribution and
abundance of marine ectothermic organisms. As a general rule, larvae and juveniles are …

Encapsulated development in the intertidal environment can potentially expose developing
embryos to environmental stresses, particularly during low tides. Such stresses can affect …

Acanthina monodon commonly deposits its egg capsules in the intertidal zone. Capsule
aerial exposure during low-tide can impact oxygen consumption rates (OCR) of embryos …

Egg capsules of the gastropod Acanthina monodon were maintained during the entire
period of encapsulated development at three temperatures (10, 15, 20° C) and two pCO 2 …

Although periods of severely reduced oxygen concentration are occurring with increasing
frequency in coastal marine ecosystems, the effects of such exposures on early …

Encapsulation of developing embryos imposes potential restrictions, because the capsule
wall must allow for adequate inward diffusion of oxygen and for increased diffusion of …

According to the temperature-size rule (TSR), ectotherms developing under cold conditions
experience slower growth as juveniles but reach a larger size at maturity. Whether …

Upwelling phenomena alter the physical and chemical parameters of the sea's subsurface
waters, producing low levels of temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen, which can seriously …

Encapsulating species face more constraints than active brooders in adjusting oxygen
supply to the needs of the embryos. Therefore, the packing of embryos in gelatinous egg …
