Behavioural thermoregulation and food availability drive fine‐scale seasonal habitat partitioning in limpets

Small‐scale spatial variation in temperature plays a key role in limiting the distribution of organisms in thermally heterogeneous environments. In the rocky intertidal zone, intra‐day temperature variation at small scales (cm–m) can easily exceed 30°C. To experimentally test the impact of this smal...
