The calyptraeid gastropod Crepipatella peruviana lives both intertidally and subtidally and
broods its embryos within the mantle cavity for several weeks before releasing the offspring …

The ability to withstand high summer temperatures is an extremely important determinant of
species distributions in the intertidal zone; most marine organisms cannot live intertidally …

The intertidal zone is an especially stressful thermal habitat, typically exposing residents to
air temperatures for up to 6 h at a time, twice daily. Tolerance to elevated temperatures has …

Abstract The Chilean gastropods Crepipatella dilatata and C. fecunda have different
development modes: brooding and direct development in C. dilatata and brooding and …

Sea surface temperatures have been rising and are predicted to continue rising in coming
years because of global warming. In addition, salinity has been decreasing in high latitudes …

Because of their complex life histories, different life stages of many marine invertebrates may
be exposed to varying environmental challenges. Ultimately, the life stage that is least …

The sedentary, suspension-feeding gastropods Crepidula fornicata and Crepipatella
peruviana can be found in large numbers both subtidally and intertidally. Although intertidal …

Species' ranges are generally studied on a latitudinal scale, and species are often limited by
their tolerance and responsiveness to physical stressors. Many organisms, though, live in …

With both global surface temperatures and the incidence and intensity of extreme
temperature events projected to increase, the assessment of species' sensitivity to chronic …

To date, several studies have provided evidence that thermal stress affects the growth,
survival and physiology of tropical and temperate macroinvertebrate species. However, few …
