Abstract excerpt
Tidal cycles at benthic habitats induce a set of periodic environmental changes in variables like salinity, temperature and sediment water content which are able to stress benthic organisms. Consequently, a natural selection temporally correlated with tides affects the fitness of genotypes (wi) depending on their adaptation degree. Classic population genetics demonstrate that (1) rhythmic wi is more restrictive...
