Performance of the long-snouted seahorse, Hippocampus guttulatus, under warming...
Costa, Ana Beatriz; Correia, Miguel; Silva, Gonçalo; Lopes, Ana Filipa; Faria, Ana MargaridaTemperature is a determinant cue for several behavioral, physiological, and metabolic processes in fish, which occur within a range set to optimize species fitness. Understanding how ocean warming will impact species, at individual and population levels, is, therefore, of utmost relevance for management and conservation purposes. This knowledge assumes particular relevance when it comes to species with unique l...
