Thermal stress and morphological adaptations in limpets
1. On thermally stressful rocky shores, small, slow-moving ectotherms such as limpets exhibit morphological characteristics such as high-spired and heavily ridged shells which may reduce the likelihood of reaching stressful or lethal body temperatures. 2. The effects of shell height and shell surface area on predicted limpet body temperatures were tested with a previously developed heat budget ...
متن کاملEvolution of morphological and climatic adaptations in Veronica L. (Plantaginaceae)
Perennials and annuals apply different strategies to adapt to the adverse environment, based on 'tolerance' and 'avoidance', respectively. To understand lifespan evolution and its impact on plant adaptability, we carried out a comparative study of perennials and annuals in the genus Veronica from a phylogenetic perspective. The results showed that ancestors of the genus Veronicawere likely to b...
متن کاملMorphological and behavioral adaptations in Bolitoglossa colonnea (Caudata, Plethodontidae) in relation to habitat use and daily activity cycle
Bolitoglossa colonnea is a member of the Bolitoglossa striatula group (sensu Wake and Lynch 1976) that inhabits low to intermediate elevations on the Caribbean slope of Costa Rica and Panama, and the Golfo Dulce area in southwestern Costa Rica and extreme western Panama. Due to their secretive habits and the low density in which these tropical salamanders generally occur, observations are rare ...
متن کاملHabitat, Life History, and Behavioral Adaptations of Aquatic Insects
The observed patterns of distribution and abundance of aquatic insects indicate successful adaptations to a wide variety of habitats. To demonstrate how organisms adapt to particular niches of the freshwater community, examples of species using certain environments are presented in this chapter and the life cycle is used as a framework for describing diverse modes of coping with environmental c...
متن کاملPhysiological, behavioral and biochemical adaptations of intertidal fishes to hypoxia.
Hypoxia survival in fish requires a well-coordinated response to either secure more O(2) from the hypoxic environment or to limit the metabolic consequences of an O(2) restriction at the mitochondria. Although there is a considerable amount of information available on the physiological, behavioral, biochemical and molecular responses of fish to hypoxia, very little research has attempted to det...
