Supplementary material Fig. S1. Nerita yoldii. Daily patterns of the tidal cycle (solid line) and variation in the percentage activity of N. yoldii, separated into different conditions, at Sites 1 and 2, on 3 d of each season and tidal condition: (A) summer spring, (B) summer neap, (C) winter spring and (D) winter neap; n = 18. Open horizontal bars indicate daytime, solid bars nighttime and hatched bars dusk or dawn. Dashed horizontal lines delimit the abundant zone of tracked individuals. Dates are given as dd/mm/yy.
