This study examines local adaptation in marine snails to temperature regimes, finding that low latitude populations exhibit faster growth and early reproduction, while high latitude populations grow slower but reach larger sizes later.

The paper combines climate and thermal trait data to assess how intraspecific heat tolerance and local warming rates affect species vulnerability to climate change, finding that existing variation is often insufficient to offset projected warming.

The paper examines spatial sorting and countergradient selection in fiddler crabs during range expansion, finding shorter pelagic larval durations at range edges linked to ocean warming and genetic change.

This study compares reproductive traits across native and invasive populations of a marine snail, revealing 'fast' and 'slow' reproductive strategies linked to climate vulnerability.
