The suspension-feeding gastropod Crepipatella dilatata occurs in estuaries in southern
Chile that experience considerable fluctuations in salinity, driven by tidal and atmospheric …

Suspension-feeding organisms living in the intertidal zone experience reduced feeding
times associated with periodic aerial exposure. The potential morphological and …

We investigated the response of the suspension-feeding activity of the prosobranch
gastropod Crepidula fornicata (L.) to changes in seston abundance and composition …

The osmotic responses of Littorina to 100→ 60% SW and 60→ 100% SW transfers, and any
subsequent acclimatory mechanisms, were investigated. Body water content and sodium …

Three species of intertidal harpacticoid copepods, Tigriopus japonicus, Tachidius
brevicornis and Tisbe sp., were tested for their response to salinities ranging from 0‰ to …

Unlike lamellibranch bivalves, suspension-feeding calyptraeid gastropods lack siphons and
paired shell valves to regulate water inflow. This study was designed to determine if …

Shallow-water coastal areas suffer frequent reductions in salinity due to heavy rains,
potentially stressing the organisms found there, particularly the early stages of development …

The estuarine bivalve Cerastoderma edule and the lagoonal C. glaucum were exposed in
the laboratory to different salinity regimes and the effects in the osmotic concentration of the …

The stalkless crinoid Antedon mediterranea (Lamarck) is a passive suspension-feeder,
relying on exogenous currents to supply it with food. The animal uses aerosol filtration …

The ability of the egg capsules of three intertidal gastropod species to protect embryos
against low-salinity stress was examined. Encapsulated embryos of Ilyanassa obsoleta …
