Mussels are ecologically important organisms that can survive in subtidal and intertidal
zones where they experience thermal stress. We know little about how mussels from …

Background Microhabitat environmental factors (eg, temperature, oxygen concentration,
nutrients, osmotic stress, and topography) are critical to the survival of intertidal organisms …

Behavioral thermoregulation is an important defense against the negative impacts of climate
change for ectotherms. In this study we examined the use of burrows by a common intertidal …

Intertidal mussels regularly experience seasonal fluctuations in food availability and heat
stress over the course of a tidal cycle, yet little is known about the biochemical mechanisms …

The intertidal zone is characterized by persistent, tidally-driven fluctuations in both abiotic
(eg, temperature, oxygen, and salinity) and biotic (eg, food availability and predation) …

Sessile invertebrates in the nearshore coastal and rocky intertidal habitats can experience
oxygen limitation during low tide air exposure and environmental hypoxia events. For some …

For most species, we lack a detailed understanding of how vulnerability to warming
temperatures under climate change varies across a its geographic distribution. Vulnerability …

Anaerobic metabolism is an important response to stress in many organisms. Intertidal
species often face heat stress during low tide. Balanus glandula is a high-shore intertidal …

Intertidal habitats are characterized by dynamic, tidally-driven fluctuations in abiotic and
biotic factors. Many of the environmental stressors that vary across the intertidal (eg …

Shifts in species distributions are one of the most anticipated impacts of climate change-
associated warming. In the rocky intertidal zone, vertical species distributions may respond …
