Tolerance of benthic macrofauna to hypoxia and anoxia in shallow coastal seas: a realistic scenario (2012, background): “Such variability provides an evolutionary advantage by buffering the population against stochastic, extreme events (e.g. Denny et al. 2011).”
Air temperature and winter mortality: Implications for the persistence of the invasive mussel, Perna viridis in the intertidal zone of the south-eastern United States (2011, background): “…studies focus on the effects of warm thermal stress on the physiological and behavioural responses of organisms (Somero, 2002; Jones et al., 2009; Denny et al., 2011; Sorte et al., 2011) while the effects of cold thermal stress are often neglected, particularly at lower latitudes (but see Urian…”
Geographic Variation in Temperature Tolerance as an Indicator of Potential Population Responses to Climate Change (2011, background): “The disparity between tolerance and habitat temperatures could partially reflect the fact that while emerged at low tide, the body temperature of a mussel may be higher than the ambient air temperature (Hofmann and Somero, 1995; Denny et al., 2011-this issue).”
