Abstract: Tropical intertidal gastropods that experience extreme and highly variable daily temperatures have evolved significant and complex heat tolerance plasticity, comprising components that respond to different timescales of temperature variation. An earlier study showed different plasticity… read more here.

Abstract: The physiology of populations within species can determine sensitivity to climate change. Experiments on marine snails indicate that southern populations are most susceptible to warming because they have minimal physiological flexibility and are most threatened… read more here.

Abstract: Whether populations can adapt to predicted climate change conditions, and how rapidly, are critical questions for the management of natural systems. Experimental evolution has become an important tool to answer these questions. In order to… read more here.

Non-reversible and Reversible Heat Tolerance Plasticity in Tropical Intertidal Animals: Responding to Habitat Temperature Heterogeneity

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2018.01909
Abstract: The theory for thermal plasticity of tropical ectotherms has centered on terrestrial and open-water marine animals which experience reduced variation in diurnal and seasonal temperatures, conditions constraining plasticity selection. Tropical marine intertidal animals, however, experience… read more here.
