<P><B>Aim </B> Marine sessile inter-tidal invertebrates are expected to undergo
shifts in distribution due to climate change. Using a combination of survey and
transplant data with thermal modelling, we investigated the role of climate on
the <U>poleward contraction</U> of the <U>southern range edge</U> of the north
temperate barnacle <EM>Semibalanus balanoides</EM>.</P></DIV>
<DIV class=para>
<P><B>Location </B> Western Atlantic of the United States.</P></DIV>
<DIV class=para>
<P><B>Methods </B> Barnacle surveys were conducted along the east coast of the
United States in 1963 and 2007. Presence, absence and abundance data were
collected and the time periods were compared. Transplant experiments monitoring
survival with relation to temperature were conducted upon
<EM>S. balanoides</EM> along the more southerly portion of their range, and
modelling predicting barnacle survival with relation to biogeography was
completed.</P></DIV>
<DIV class=para>
<P><B>Results </B> The southern limit of <EM>S. balanoides</EM> has
contracted approximately 350 km to the north.</P></DIV>
<DIV class=para>
<P><B>Main conclusions </B> The changes thus far observed in climate along the
east coast of the United States have contributed to the southern limit range
contraction of <EM>S. balanoides</EM>. Further changes in the biogeography
of <EM>S. balanoides</EM> are expected with continued climate
warming.</P></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></FONT><BR>
