Resilience of the amphipod Hyale niger and its algal host Sargassum linearifolium to heatwave conditions

Ocean warming and increasing incidence of marine heatwaves (MHW) challenge the survival of marine organisms. While the impacts of climate scenario-based ocean warming are well investigated, the response of organisms to extreme events such as MHW is less understood. In this study, the thermal tolerance of the amphipod Hyale niger, an ecologically important amphipod in southeast Australia, and its algal host Sargassum linearifolium, were...
