Description
Maria Byrne and Pauline Ross review how shoreline invertebrates face a harsher climate in this 2026 paper. Creatures at the land-sea edge already ride swings of heat and salt with every tide. Heatwaves, floods, fires, and shifting ice now stack on top, sometimes together. The review covers rocky shores, mudflats, mangroves, and saltmarsh.
Bivalves get a case-study focus, since they anchor food webs and fisheries. Heat at low tide proves especially deadly. Species differ widely in tolerance, and shore height changes exposure hour by hour. The authors weigh how acclimation, adaptation, and refuge habitats might build resilience, and which species back up key services if others fail.
