Linking biogeography to physiology: Evolutionary and acclimatory adjustments of thermal limits

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Temperature-adaptive physiological variation plays important roles in latitudinal biogeographic patterning and in setting vertical distributions along subtidal-to-intertidal gradients in coastal marine ecosystems. Comparisons of congeneric marine invertebrates re...
