Hypotheses and Predictions: The authors wanted to test if it is possible to detect increased metabolic work in two estuarine species (Hemigrapsus oregonensis and H. nudus) and relate this function to increased osmotic work by measuring oxygen consumption with respect to changes in temperature‚ salinity‚ and the gradient‚ which they defined as the difference in concentration between blood and the external medium. The authors predicted “because of seasonal variation in salinity it would appear quite

Motivation A limited amount of information is available on the feeding behavior of Nassarius kraussianus. Laboratory experiments will be executed to determine the snails feeding rates as well as how certain factors such as temperature‚ food type and light levels affect these rates. The feeding rate and feeding behavior can provide beneficial information for future studies that might inevitably be needed for ecological models or to understand what makes N. kraussianus such a successful species.
