During the time frame that we were there‚ the black periwinkles were moving towards the damper‚ unders and crevices of the rocks‚ or staying close to the three rock pools in our transect. This suggests that the rising temperature and the fact that the tide was in the process of coming in‚ effected the distribution and placement of the periwinkles.
