The muricid gastropod Acanthina monodon deposits egg capsules in both subtidal and
intertidal environments. Intertidal egg capsules are naturally exposed during low tides to …

Anthopleura hermaphroditica is an intertidal anemone that lives semi-buried in soft
sediments of estuaries and releases its brooded embryos directly to the benthos, being …

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 …

Encapsulated development with extraembryonic yolk may lead to competition for nutrients
within egg capsules. In this research, different degrees of competition among embryos in …

Intertidal zones are highly dynamic environments. At low tide, temperatures and salinities in
intertidal tide pools can change substantially and quickly, depending on the weather …

Exposure to environmental stressors such as pollutants early in life may have latent effects
visible only in later life stages. Sea urchin Evechinus chloroticus larvae were exposed briefly …

The widespread coastal hermit crab Pagurus longicarpus relies on empty gastropod shells
for shelter. At low tide, these hermit crabs often become stranded in tide pools, where …

With harmful algal blooms increasing in frequency and range, it is important to study how
exposure to harmful algae may affect the development of marine organisms. Our studies …

We investigated the relationships between the biological traits of macroinvertebrates and the
environmental characteristics of 13 peatbogs of the Puna and High Andean ecoregions. We …

In coastal systems endangered by acidified water, it becomes paramount to understand the
link between acidification and its environmental drivers. Embayments along the US Mid …
