| Abstract | Temperature is one of the most important variables influencing organisms, especially in the intertidal zone. This work aimed to test physiological and molecular intraspecific differences in thermal tolerance of the crab Pachygrapsus marmoratus (Fabricius, 1787). The comparisons made focused on sex, size, and habitat (estuary and coast) differences. The physiological parameter was upper thermal limit, tested via the critical thermal maximum (CTMax) and the molecular parameter was total heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70 and Hsp70 plus Hsc70) production, quantified via an enzyme-linked imunosorbent assay. Results showed that CTMax values and Hsp70 production are higher in females probably due to different microhabitat use and potentially due to different hormonal regulation in males and females. Among females, non-reproducing ones showed a higher CTMax value, but no differences were found in Hsp70, even though reproducing females showed higher variability in Hsp70 amounts. As reproduction takes up a lot of energy, its allocation for other activities, including stress responses, is lower. Juveniles also showed higher CTMax and Hsp70 expression because they occur in greater shore heights and ageing leads to alterations in protein synthesis. Comparing estuarine and coastal crabs, no differences were found in CTMax but coastal crabs produce more Hsp70 than estuarine crabs because they occur in drier and hotter areas than estuarine ones, which occur in moister environments. This work shows the importance of addressing intraspecific differences in the stress response at different organizational levels. This study shows that these differences are key factors in stress research, climate research, and environmental monitoring. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
