Let's review...

The adaptations that help the rough periwinkle live in the Upper Intertidal zone include:

mitzi
  • They practice internal fertilization and have a brood pouch to protect developing young.
  • They can form a seal with their foot on the rock surface, which protects them from drying out during long exposure to the air.
  • They have a sense of orientation that allows them to migrate back to their location in the Upper Intertidal if they get knocked loose.
