y, out of the multitude of subtidal macrofauna from the coastal waters surrounding the Antarctic Peninsula, only one species has successfully colonized most accessible intertidal areas: the limpet Nacella [...] addition to the morphological difference, the intertidal subpopulation needs behavioural and physiological stress tolerance, superior to their subtidal congeners. In this project we aim to study the capacity [...] stress markers and antioxidant defence. Our aim is to clarify, whether the morphological differentiation between the intertidal and the permanently subtidal subpopulation is going along with adaptive changes
