Since its emergence two decades ago, the use of infrared technology for noninvasively measuring heartbeat rates invertebrates has provided valuable insight into physiology and ecology intertidal organisms. During that time period, hardware needed this method been adapted to currently available electronic components, making original published description obsolete. This article reviews history sensing technology, describes design function a modern simplified rate system compatible with many...
Abstract At a proximal level, the physiological impacts of global climate change on ectothermic organisms are manifest as changes in body temperatures. Especially for plants and animals exposed to direct solar radiation, temperatures can be substantially different from air We deployed biomimetic sensors that approximate thermal characteristics intertidal mussels at 71 sites worldwide, 1998-present. Loggers recorded 10–30 min intervals nearly continuously multiple elevations. Comparisons...
We present a Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) model for the quintessential keystone predator, rocky-intertidal sea star Pisaster ochraceus. Based on first principles, DEB theory is used to illuminate underlying physiological processes (maintenance, growth, development, and reproduction), thus providing framework predict individual-level responses environmental change. parameterized P. ochraceus using both data from literature experiments conducted specifically framework. devoted special attention...
Abstract Climate change is redistributing marine and terrestrial species globally. Life‐history traits mediate the ability of to cope with novel environmental conditions, can be used gauge potential redistribution taxa facing challenges a changing climate. However, it unclear whether same are important across different stages range shifts (arrival, population increase, persistence). To test which life‐history most process extension, we 16‐year dataset 35 range‐extending coral‐reef fish...

Robust ecological forecasting requires accurate predictions of physiological responses to environmental drivers. Energy budget models facilitate this by mechanistically linking biology abiotic drivers, but are usually ground-truthed under relatively stable physical conditions, omitting temporal/spatial variability. Dynamic Budget (DEB) theory is a powerful framework capable individual fitness drivers and we tested its ability accommodate variability examining model across the rocky shore,...
Ectotherm's vulnerability to climate change is predicted increase with temperature variation. Still, translating laboratory observations of organisms’ heat-stress responses the natural fluctuating environment remains challenging. In this study, we used an integrative framework combining insights from Thermal Death Time (TDT) curves and physiological reaction norms, precisely capture Pinctada margaritifera’s thermal performance tolerance landsape. We then applied model predict individuals’...
Abstract Environmental stress models ( ESM ) provide a useful framework to study the direct and indirect ecological drivers of community diversity resilience. s make predictions about relative importance structuring processes (e.g., predation) based on suffered by consumers prey. Their practical application, i.e., determining conditions under which prey performance is more negatively affected, has been limited because roles behavior physiology are not usually considered. We examined role...
Abstract Predator–prey interaction strengths can be highly context-dependent. In particular, multiple predator effects (MPEs), variations in sex and physical habitat characteristics may affect prey consumption rates thus the persistence of lower trophic groups. Ephemeral wetlands are transient ecosystems which predatory copepods numerically dominant. We examine a specialist copepod Paradiaptomus lamellatus towards mosquito presence conspecifics using functional response approach. Further, we...

The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has been associated with dramatic changes in adult populations of shallow benthic community-structuring species northern Chile. However, early ontogenetic stages are more likely to be affected by physical processes ENSO (e.g. increased temperature, upwelling), potentially reflected differences recruitment intensity. We evaluated and abundance juveniles adults the major groups (kelps, sea urchins, stars, crabs rockfish) during a period La Niña followed...
By altering the phenotypic properties of their hosts, endolithic parasites can modulate engineering processes marine ecosystem engineers. Here, we assessed biogeographical patterns species assemblages, prevalence and impact parasitism in two mussel that act as important engineers southern African intertidal habitat, Perna perna Mytilus galloprovincialis. We conducted large-scale surveys across three biogeographic regions along South coast: subtropical east coast, dominated by indigenous...
Abstract Aim Climate change can have a broad range of impacts on the physiology and behaviour animals. These effects be mediated by presence other species in community, but current forecasts responses to climate largely ignore biological interactions. This is particularly true for novel interactions between range‐extending native species, as this often considered noise excluded from predictive models. Here we simulate how tropical local temperate fish respond independent combined future...
Abstract Aim Climate change is redistributing species globally, resulting in altered community structures and ecosystem functioning. The current paradigm that should track temperature isoclines along latitudinal depth gradients to remain within their thermal niches. However, the many exceptions this rule point complex ecological environmental processes often overlooked statistical models predicting redistributions. We tested contributions of natural versus anthropogenic climate long‐term...
