... on their habitat is unknown. Many marine organisms are found in intertidal zones where they experience episodes of emersion (air exposure) daily as the tide rises and recedes. During episodes of emersion, the accumulation of metabolic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) leads to hypercapnia for many species. How this metabolic...

...Hans-O. Pörtner ABSTRACT Physiological studies contribute to a cause and effect understanding of ecological patterns under climate change and identify the scope and limits of adaptation. Across most habitats, this requires analyzing organism responses to warming, which can be modified by other...

...Michael Ladegaard; Frants Havmand Jensen; Mafalda de Freitas; Vera Maria Ferreira da Silva; Peter Teglberg Madsen ABSTRACT Toothed whales produce echolocation clicks with source parameters related to body size; however, it may be equally important to consider the influence of habitat, as suggested...

...Vanessa C. K. Couldridge; Moira J. van Staaden SUMMARY It has been hypothesized that the physical properties of the environment exert selection pressure on long-range acoustic communication signals to match the local habitat by promoting signal characteristics that minimize excess attenuation...
