Shallow water fish display low phenotypic plasticity to ocean warming and extre...
Missionário, Madalena; Almeida, Célia; Fernandes, Joana Filipa; Vinagre, Catarina; Madeira, Carolina; Madeira, DianaShallow water environments have long been recognized by scientists as sentinels for climate change. By analysing the impacts of ocean warming and marine heatwaves (MHW) in species from these areas, we can estimate their plasticity and hence vulnerability to thermal challenges. Pomatoschistus microps is a benthic intertidal fish species inhabiting coastal lagoons where temperature fluctuations are common. Here, ...
Thermal tolerance limits and physiological traits as indicators of Hediste dive...
Fernandes, Joana Filipa; Calado, Ricardo; Jerónimo, Daniel; Madeira, DianaGlobal projections predict significant increases in ocean temperature and changes in ocean chemistry, including salinity variations by 2100. This has led to a substantial interest in the study of thermal ecophysiology, as temperature is a major factor shaping marine ectotherm communities. However, responses to temperature may be influenced by other factors such as salinity, highlighting the relevance of multipl...
