Investigating genetic, gene expression and proteomic changes over temperature gradients in intertidal Nerita species

This project undertook a comparative study to investigate how marine snails respond to acute temperature stress conditions that are expected as a result of global climate change. It was found that each snail species employed a different strategy to cope with temperature stress, but not all strategies were successful under extreme stress conditions. This information can be used to predict which species will be most susceptible to future climate changes and therefore more efficiently manage these species.
