When predicting the response of organisms to global change, models use measures of
climate at a coarse resolution from general circulation models or from downscaled regional …

In an era of global change, thermal biology and ecology are becoming increasingly popular
topics in invertebrate research, including molluscs. However, this area of research is still …

Studies in birds and trees show climatic stresses distributed across species' ranges, not only
at range limits. Here, new analyses from the butterfly Euphydryas editha reveal mechanisms …

Maritime built heritage (eg, historic seawalls) represents an important component of coastal
infrastructure around the world. Despite this, the ecological communities supported by these …

Understanding how behavioural adaptations can limit thermal stress for intertidal gastropods
will be crucial for climate models. Some behavioural adaptations are already known to limit …

Aim As global climate changes, there is a clear mismatch between the temporal and spatial
characteristics of body temperature and environmental temperature, confounding the …

For rocky intertidal organisms, temperature is often considered the most influential factor
governing early survival and growth. Nevertheless, our review of the literature revealed that …

For rocky intertidal invertebrates, the transition from pelagic larva to benthic settler
represents a critical life-history stage characterised by high mortality. This mortality has been …

Infrared thermography (IRT) is being increasingly utilised by animal physiologists and
ecologists to investigate the role of thermal stress and small-scale thermal variability on the …

Intertidal organisms are vulnerable to global warming as they already live at, or near to, the
upper limit of their thermal tolerance window. The behaviour of ectotherms could, however …
