Animals that live in sand dunes know that the sand just beneath the surface is cooler. That's why they remain underground during the hottest hours of the day. One of the factors that dune animals must face is to know how to conserve water. The kangaroo rat is a great model of water conservation.
To survive in these conditions, plants and animals living in estuaries must be able to respond quickly to drastic changes in salinity. Plants and animals that can tolerate only slight changes in salinity are called stenohaline (Sumich, 1996). These organisms usually live in either freshwater or saltwater environments. Most stenohaline organisms cannot tolerate the rapid changes in salinity that occur during each tidal cycle in an estuary. Plants and animals that can tolerate a wide range of salinities are called euryhaline.
