Abstract excerpt
It is important to study the fitness of marine invertebrates in exposure to high water temperature. We studied whether the long-term high temperatures work on the fitness-related traits (righting behavior, covering behavior, foraging behavior, Aristotle's lantern reflex, body size) of S. intermedius whose parents (males and females) were exposed to ambient or high temperatures (~3 °C higher than the ambient) for...
