INTRODUCTIONSummarizing our information on this subject and the pertinent information to be found through the huge bibliography are not the only objectives of this chapter. An organization has been attempted which seems potentially of service in pointing out variables or factors, the study of which, through application of the experimental method, may facilitate better understanding of the various problems and encourage the formulation of new, testable hypotheses. This goal is sought by organizing the material presented around what seem to be the major aspects of realms in the variation of the environment. For the reporting of observations, the environment lends itself to measurement as variations (or duration) through space, time, and numbers, and in C. G. S., or related, units. 1 Most of the points outlined by Michael and Allen (1921) in their outline of the problems of marine ecology are covered but have been reorganized with the above variables in mind.The environmental variables delimit a form in space, time, and numbers peculiar to each species, group of species, or other biological unit being treated. For this form we shall use the term biospace, though in deference to the usual three-dimensional conception of "space" some other term might well be more appropriate for a form having more than three dimensions. Jarnefelt (1940), Reijne (1948), and Detling (1951) present possible methods of illustrating these polydimensional biospaces (Fig. 16) within the restrictions imposed by two-dimensional printing.A simple sample of, or section through, a biospace would be provided by a uniformly exposed and vertical plane shore. Such a two-dimensional plane section would be expected to have ends which are more or less attenuated in some respect. A third dimension would be simply represented and sampled when, or if, the section were curved. A series of jetties or breakwaters would provide on their intertidal surfaces a series of plane sections through the different biospaces that form the essential substance of this chapter (though there has been no hesitation in bringing in occasional examples from other habitats). A series of large boulders protruding into the air and scattered over a subtidal bottom would provide a somewhat more complicated sampling through a set of local intertidal biospaces. Temporal and numerical distribution provide additional dimensions. If enough samples were available one should be able to calculate the extent of these biospaces and predict where particular 1 Papers extensively utilizing means of exposition other than such specific units (e.g., centimeters, grams, seconds) have been found to be of little use though they may be artistic or literary masterpieces. The relegation of a host of them to the great list of papers that might have been cited herein is manifest. 535 1.536 MARINE ECOLOGY organisms would grow, for example, on a new breakwater to be installed in the region.The presence or absence of such boulders or other suitable surfaces as required by a particular organism for existence ar...

“…was not the critical temperature for autotomy in these individuals. Vernon (1899) found that at Naples the mean death temperature of various marine invertebrates was 0.6° to 1.3°C. higher in July and August than in March and April, this change being associated with a rise of about 10°C.…”

“…Early life stages of marine invertebrates have been considered to be vulnerable or fragile in relation to environmental stresses for over 100 years [1]-[3], with many species exhibiting high mortality during development and early growth and lower mortality rates with maturity [4], [5]. Many marine species produce large numbers of gametes, the vast majority of which fail to reach maturity.…”

Juvenile stages are often thought to be less resistant to thermal challenges than adults, yet few studies make direct comparisons using the same methods between different life history stages. We tested the resilience of juvenile stages compared to adults in 4 species of Antarctic marine invertebrate over 3 different rates of experimental warming. The species used represent 3 phyla and 4 classes, and were the soft-shelled clam Laternula elliptica, the sea cucumber Cucumaria georgiana, the sea urchin Sterechinus neumayeri, and the seastar Odontaster validus. All four species are widely distributed, locally abundant to very abundant and are amongst the most important in the ecosystem for their roles. At the slowest rate of warming used (1°C 3 days−1) juveniles survived to higher temperatures than adults in all species studied. At the intermediate rate (1°C day−1) juveniles performed better in 3 of the 4 species, with no difference in the 4th, and at the fastest rate of warming (1°C h−1) L. elliptica adults survived to higher temperatures than juveniles, but in C. georgiana juveniles survived to higher temperatures than adults and there were no differences in the other species. Oxygen limitation may explain the better performance of juveniles at the slower rates of warming, whereas the loss of difference between juveniles and adults at the fastest rate of warming suggests another mechanism sets the temperature limit here.
