Macroscale patterns in body size of intertidal crustaceans provide insights on climate change effects

Estimated effect of changing temperature on fecundity (triangles) and biomass (circles) calculated for: a) the isopod Excirolana hirsuticauda from Chile, b) Emerita analoga from Chile (black symbols), and c) Emerita analoga from USA (California) (white symbols). For each species and region, scatter plots and regressions of egg number as a function of body size are shown in the corresponding panels on the right side of the figure. d) fecundity for E. hirsuticauda was estimated using data collected from La Misión beach (LM), Chile (log fecundity = (0.074 x body size) + 2.07)[68]; e) fecundity for E. analoga in Chile was estimated using regression of data collected from Mehuin beach, Chile (log fecundity = -0.57 + 1.83 log (carapace length)) [51]; f) fecundity for E. analoga in California was estimated using regression of data collected at Avila Beach, USA (log fecundity = (4.47 x carapace length)– 2.02) [36]; the biomass equation used in calculations for E. analoga is from Chile (Biomass = 0.00004 x (carapace length ^ 3.3189)).
