However, storms can persist, such as Tropical Storm Erika, seen here from above in 2015.

His findings could have its broader implications for species facing higher ocean temperatures.Professor Brad Seibel examined hundreds of measurements from dozens of species of flatfish, looking at their metabolic rates across various body sizes and temperatures.
