Variation in density, size, and morphology of the pulmonate limpet Siphonaria lessonii along the Southwestern Atlantic

The density, size, and morphology of coastal invertebrate species often predictably vary with latitude. In this study we evaluate whether the density, size, and morphology of the pulmonate limpet, Siphonaria lessonii, in the Southwestern Atlantic varies in agreement to the predictions of the abundan...
