Let's review...
The adaptations that help the rough periwinkle live in the Upper
Intertidal zone include:
|
-
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.
