The duration of the swimming response of an intertidal amphipod to increases in hydrostatic pressure apparently serves to measure the timing of wave uprush on the beach. Experiments have demonstrated that this response to a standard pressure-increase stimulus varies in duration only slightly with temperature over the range from 10 degrees to 28 degrees C, with estimated Q(10) values of 1.3 to 1.5. Relative insensitivity to temperature, such as here described, seems to be an essential component of biological time-measuring systems (including endogenous circadian, tidal, and lunar rhythms) that are ecologically keyed to the timing of temperature-independent environmental factors.
潮间带双足节动物对静水压力增加的游泳反应持续时间显然是用来测量海浪涌上滩涂的时间。实验表明，这种对标准压力增加刺激的反应持续时间在10摄氏度到28摄氏度范围内随温度变化很小，估计Q（10）值为1.3到1.5。这里所描述的对温度相对不敏感，似乎是生物计时系统（包括内源性昼夜节律、潮汐节律和月节律）的一个基本组成部分，这些系统在生态上与不依赖温度的环境因素的时间相关联。
