Thermal adaptation in the intertidal snail Echinolittorina malaccana contradicts current theory by revealing the crucial roles of resting metabolism

TL;DR: A hypothetical framework for thermal performance of locomotor activity and resting metabolism in energetically compromised snails in the littoral fringe zone points to the need to incorporate aspects of resting metabolism and energy conservation into theories of thermal adaptation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Warming reduces metabolic rate in marine snails: adaptation to fluctuating high temperatures challenges the metabolic theory of ecology

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored thermal scaling of metabolism in a rocky-shore eulittoral-fringe snail (Echinolittorina malaccana ) that experiences constrained energy gain and fluctuating high temperatures (between 25°C and approximately 50°C) during prolonged emersion (weeks).
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-climatic thermal adaptation: implications for species' responses to climate warming.

TL;DR: It is shown that non-climatic solar heating underlies thermal resistance adaptation in a rocky–eulittoral-fringe snail and that the snail's upper lethal temperature exceeds the highest climatically relevant regional air temperature by approximately 22°C.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of the introduced grass Agrostis stolonifera on vegetation and soil fauna communities at Marion Island, sub-Antarctic☆

TL;DR: The invasion by A. stolonifera does not seem to pose an immediate threat to the survival of any of the native species on the island, but the changes induced in the drainage line communities significantly reduce the value of the island both from a conservation viewpoint and as a natural laboratory for fundamental ecological research.
