Climate warming is a ubiquitous stressor in freshwater ecosystems, yet its interactive effects
with other stressors are poorly understood. We address this knowledge gap by testing the …

In the population dynamics of bi-phasic marine invertebrates, the fitness of one stage in the
life of a cohort affects that of the following stage. This effect makes the prediction of the fate …

Marine heatwaves are discrete periods of anomalously warm sea temperatures that are
globally increasing in frequency and intensity. Marine heatwaves that occur in spring and …

Ongoing global changes are expected to affect the worldwide production of many fisheries
and aquaculture systems. Because invertebrates represent a relevant industry, it is crucial to …

The larval stage of echinoids can spend a few days to several months in the plankton before
settlement. Echinoplutei are scarce in the water column. Most are found in the mixed layer …

Body size is an important biotic factor in evolutionary ecology, since it affects all aspects of
insect physiology, life history and, consequently, fitness in ectothermic insects and how …

Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis has a broad arctic-boreal distribution and is commonly
associated with laminarian kelps. As an omnivorous grazer, its feeding capabilities and …

Climate change is expected to increase temperatures and shift the algal regime and
biomass in the Salish Sea. Previous studies suggest that growth and survival of echinoderm …

For aquatic species living in benthic (or bottom) habitats including bivalves, barnacles,
corals, crabs, sea stars, urchins, and worms, complex biphasic life-cycles often separate …

Coastal marine ecosystems have been identified as at particularly high risk from global
climate change. Laboratory mesocosm experiments with model organisms can be useful in …
