1) The document examines how climate change may impact populations of Fucus serratus, a habitat-forming seaweed, on North Atlantic rocky shores.
2) Heat stress experiments on F. serratus from different locations found evidence of local adaptation related to temperature variability but not for populations from Spain.
3) Photosynthetic responses indicate climate change may exceed the thermal tolerance of F. serratus at its southern range limit.
