The thermal stress response to diel vertical migration in the hyperiid amphipod Phronima sedentaria
Description: The hyperiid amphipod Phronima sedentaria experiences a temperature change of 15 °C during diel migration in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific (ETNP) from 8-10 °C at depth to 25-27 °C at night in the surface waters. The aim of this study was to determine if the natural temperature gradient experienced by P. sedentaria results in a thermal stress response.
