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 surfac...
