Often the only algae to be found is that growing on theshell where they cannot reach. The common limpet Patella vulgata L. is abundant along intertidal rocks of northwestern Europe and can denude its habitat of attached macroalgae by feeding on their mature thalli and germlings. Davies (Davies, 1966, 1967), for example, showed that the upper shore Patella vulgata is capable of metabolic acclimation, both seasonally and in relation to position on the shore, whereas the low-shore Patella aspersa fails to acclimate and may thus be limited to a niche where environmental temperatures are more uniform. Although a variety of shellfish species are present on Scottish Iron Age sites two were heavily exploited, the common limpet (Patella vulgata) and the periwinkle (Littorina littorea). Distinguishing globally-driven changes from regional- and local-scale impacts: The case for long-term and broad-scale studies of recovery from pollution. This was shown impressively by Jones (1948) on the Isle of Man and by Southward & Southward (1978) in Cornwall. Orton et al.
