“…Gravid and non-gravid female P. guttatum, P. capensis and T. urvillei were collected by hand in Kenya and South Africa. Both non-gravid and gravid crabs brooding stage two and four embryos (Simoni et al 2011) were maintained in individual plastic containers tilted at a 45 angle partially filled with locally collected mangrove mud and freshly aerated seawater. Females brooding stage five embryos (Simoni et al 2011) were placed in separate holding tanks with rocks and aerated seawater.…”

Larvae were successfully hatched from stage five embryos within 2 days of collection for ensuing experiments.…”

The thermal bottlenecks and the response to climate change in the complex life-history of intertidal ectotherms are not clearly defined. Our work tested the applicability of two major ecological and mechanistic hypotheses across life stages, latitudinal range and between respiratory media. We found that ontogenetic stage and local climate adaptations are significant factors to consider when evaluating the overall vulnerability of intertidal ectotherms to thermal stress. The evolutionary adaptation and capacity for dual breathing acquired throughout ontogeny by some intertidal ectotherms may represent an advantage in mitigating the effects of climate change in comparison to strictly water breathers.
