Table of definitions

Below lists the definitions we are using to define refugia for red abalone.

# Description Variable Refs
1 When abalone experience lower short-term variability in temperature over 5-10 day moving window periods at a specific site Temperature Dowd & Denny 2020
2 When abalone experience lower degree heating days above a temperature threshold at a specific site Temperature Boch et al 2018; Gleeson & Strong 1995
3 Thermal performance curve Temperature Provost et al. in prep
4 When abalone in: (i) normoxic conditions (i.e., 21 kPa) experience temperatures between 16-20˚C, OR (ii) hypoxic conditions (i.e., 10.5 kPa) experience temperatures between 7-11˚C Temperature, oxygen Duncan et al 2023
5 When abalone experience temperatures that are (i) between 15.5-20.5˚C, regardless of pH, or (ii) <15.5˚C and pH >7.5 Temperature, pH Boch et al 2017; Fagundes et al 2020
6 When abalone experience temperatures below 18˚C Temperature Rogers-Bennett et al 2010; Braid et al 2005; Vilchis et al 2005; Crosson & Friedman 2018
7 When dissolved oxygen >2mg/L Oxygen Low et al 2021
8 When temperatures are between 16-18˚C Temperature Duncan et al 2023; Leighton 1974; Diaz et al 2000; Salinas et al 2011
