  • Team Uses "Robomussels" to Check Mussel Temperatures

    As temperatures rise due to climate change, mussels tucked away in their intertidal beds face temperatures reaching close to their lethal limit in certain regions of the world. As such, researchers are attempting to determine what that temperature threshold is by examining refugia, otherwise known as geographic regions less susceptible to climate change where animals like mussels, incapable of relocating, have a higher chance of survival.
