This review concerns crustaceans that associate with sea ice. Particular emphasis is placed
on comparing and contrasting the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice habitats, and the subsequent …

The ecophysiology of cold tolerance in many terrestrial invertebrate animals is based on
water and its activity at low temperatures, affecting cell, tissue and whole organism functions …

Tigriopus brevicornis is the dominant member of the fauna in high-shore rockpools (above
the mean high water of spring tides) that are subject to extreme environmental variation …

The lack of university funding is one of the major impediments to taxonomy, partly because
traditional taxonomic training takes longer than a PhD course. Understanding ranges of …

Rogoznica Lake is highly eutrophic marine system located on the Eastern Adriatic coast (43°
32′ N, 15° 58′ E). Because of the relatively small size (10,276 m 2) and depth (15 m) it …

Inhabitants of littoral rock pools such as the copepod Tigriopus brevicornis are subjected to
highly variable physico-chemical conditions. The effect of temperature and PO2 on the rate …

Shifting climate patterns may impose novel combinations of abiotic conditions on animals,
yet understanding of the present-day interactive effects of multiple stressors remains under …

Intertidal zone organisms can experience transient freezing temperatures during winter low
tides, but their extreme cold tolerance mechanisms are not known. Petrolisthes cinctipes is a …

Sea ice is a unique habitat in polar seas. A diverse assemblage of plants and animals lives
in its interior parts and at the ice-water interface. Their distribution is to a large extent …

Supralittoral rockpools form an extreme environment due to severe fluctuations in salinity,
temperature and oxygen concentration. The only seaweed species in supralittoral rockpools …
