Hydrodynamic forces produced by breaking waves make the rocky intertidal zone one of the most physically stressful environments on the planet, and for many ecological studies, it is important to ...

A comprehensive study on the rhythmicity of limpets -- mobile intertidal molluscs -- employing field and laboratory observations, as well assembling a clock oriented transcriptome -- shows that in the ...

Crashing waves and water temperature along rocky shorelines strongly influence the growth patterns of the yellowfoot limpet (Cellana sandwicensis), or ʻopihi ʻālinalina, an intertidal species endemic ...

Limpets, a group of marine gastropods inhabiting rocky intertidal zones, represent a key component of coastal ecosystems. Their grazing behaviour regulates algal communities, thereby influencing ...

Plant-eating critters are the key ingredient to helping ecosystems survive global warming, finds new UBC research that offers some hope for a defence strategy against climate change. "The herbivores ...
