Effects of in situ experimental warming on metabolic expression in a soft sediment bivalve by Orlando Lam-Gordillo, Emily J. Douglas, Sarah F. Hailes, Vonda Cummings, Andrew M. Lohrer

“…Understanding how marine organisms respond and adapt to heat pulses and the rapidly changing climate is crucial for predicting responses of valued species and ecosystems to global warming. Here, we carried out an in situ experiment to investigate sublethal responses to heat spikes of a functionally important intertidal bivalve, the venerid clam Austrovenus stutchburyi. …”
