Abstract
⺠We explore convective heating and thermoregulatory behaviour in littorinid snails ⺠The boundary layer air (BLA) significantly heated snails in direct sunlight ⺠BLA heating was partially relieved by changing shell posture (standing) ⺠Standing was only induced by exposure to a thermal gradient in the BLA
