algae genusalso called rockweed Adaptations to its environment include bladderlike floats (pneumatocysts), disk-shaped holdfasts for clinging to rocks, and mucilage-covered blades that resist desiccation and temperature changes. The plant is between about 2 and 50 cm (0.8 to 20 inches) in length;

Hays is interested in the upper and lower limits of rockweed's distribution within the intertidal zone. She has found, for example, that rockweed plants growing near the edges of its range show genetic adaptations to local conditions, such as prolonged exposure at the upper edge or prolonged submersion at the lower edge.

At our local sites two species of rockweed Selvetia compressa and Hesperophycus harveyanus are commonly observed in the high intertidal zone. Anemones have evolved numerous adaptations to survive life in the intertidal. These organisms provide an excellent model for children exploring adaptations for dealing with...

The Atlantic Slipper Shell (Crepidula fornicata); up to about 1.5 inches Two kinds of slipper shells are common along the Atlantic coast, the Atlantic and the Eastern white slipper shell. Both will attach themselves to a hard object in the water and spend their lives in that one place filtering food.
