role of temperature and desiccation stress in limiting the local-scale distribution of the owl limpet, Lottia gigantea

1. Small-scale distributions of rocky intertidal organisms may be determined in part by temperature and desiccation stress during low tide and the ability of organisms to resist such stresses. Biophysical modelling techniques, coupled with data on the physiological tolerance of organisms can be used...
