Effect of Extreme Heatwaves on the Mortality and Cellular Immune Responses of Purplish Bifurcate Mussel Mytilisepta virgata (Wiegmann, 1837) (=Septifer virgatus) in Indoor Mesocosm Experiments
In the rocky intertidal environment, the frequency and duration of heatwaves have increased over the last decade, possibly due to global climate change. Heatwaves often result in lethal or sub-lethal disturbances in benthic animals by changing their metabolic activities. In this study, we investigat...
