Environmental drivers such as salinity can impact the timing and duration of developmental events in aquatic early life stages of crustaceans, including terrestrial crabs of the family Gecarcinidae. Low salinity delays larval development in land crab...

Evidence for physiological niche expansion of an intertidal flatworm: Evolutionary rescue in the wild (2020)
Journal Article

Microevolution may enable populations to adapt physiologically to rapid climate change. Where it exists, historical data could provide a rare opportunity to document such adaptation. The intertidal flatworm Procerodes littoralis experiences large cha... Read More about Evidence for physiological niche expansion of an intertidal flatworm: Evolutionary rescue in the wild.
