“…The tidal range is 1.8-2.2 m at the White Sea sampling site and 1.6-2.8 m at the North Sea location. In general, sub-arctic White Sea populations of Littorina saxatilis experience extreme seasonal variations of temperature, from freezing (from below -1.5°C in brackish seawater to between -10 and -15°C in air) in late autumn and winter to 15-20°C and more in summer (Babkov 1998, Sokolova et al 2000a). In contrast, both temperature fluctuations and temperature extremes are much less pronounced in the North Sea.…”

“…However, temperature and desiccation contrasts between high and low shores are greater for the White Sea population compared with that in the North Sea. During summer low tides, high-shore animals from the White Sea area experience wide temperature fluctuations, temperature extremes of up to 47°C and extreme desiccation stress while spending a long time (up to 7-8 d during neap tides) on dry rock surface (Sokolova et al 2000a). In contrast, Helgoland animals may never be exposed to direct sunlight due to the shore morphology; so the differences in temperature fluctuations and temperature extremes between high-and low-shore habitats are small (Janke 1997, I.M.S.…”
