Climatic niche at physiological and macroecological scales: the thermal tolerance–geographical range interface and niche dimensionality
(Oxford, 2014-04)
Under the Hutchinsonian concept of the realized niche, biotic interactions and dispersal limitation may prevent species from fully occupying areas that they could tolerate physiologically. This can hamper the translation ...
Divergence in Thermal Physiology Could Contribute to Vertical Segregation in Intertidal Ecotypes of Littorina saxatilis
(2021)
Thermal stress is a potentially important selective agent in intertidal marine habitats, but the role that thermal tolerance might play in local adaptation across shore height has been underexplored. Northwest Spain is ...
Thermal ecology of Galaxias platei (Pisces, Galaxiidae) in South Patagonia: perspectives under a climate change scenario
(Springer, 2017-11)
The native freshwater fish Galaxias platei shows a wide latitudinal distribution in Patagonia, being found on both sides of the Andes. Currently, climate change poses one of the main threats to native fish, and its effects ...
Rapid within- and transgenerational changes in thermal tolerance and fitness in variable thermal landscapes
(Wiley, 2020)
Phenotypic plasticity may increase the performance and fitness and allow organisms to cope with variable environmental conditions. We studied within-generation plasticity and transgenerational effects of thermal conditions ...
Effect of salinity on locomotor performance and thermal extremes of metamorphic Andean Toads (Rhinella spinulosa) from Monte Desert, Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-05)
Rhinella spinulosa is distributed from Peru to Argentina (from 1200 to 5000 m elevation), inhabiting arid mountain valleys of the Andes, characterized by salty soils. The variations in soil salinity, caused by high ...
How are endemic and widely distributed bromeliads responding to warming temperatures? A case study in a Brazilian hotspot
(Elsevier B.V., 2018-01-01)
The increase in mean global temperature is causing extensive changes in ecosystems. However, little is yet known about the heat tolerance of neotropical plant species. Here, we investigate heat tolerance variation in both ...
Seasonal changes in the thermal tolerances of Odontophrynus occidentalis (Anura: Odontophrynidae)
(Soc Royale Zoologique Belgique, 2013-07)
We studied the thermal tolerances of Odontophrynus occidentalis during the dry and wet seasons of the Monte Desert in San Juan Province, Argentina. This toad had differences in critical thermal maximum (CTmax) between dry ...
Ontogenetic variation of thermal tolerance in two anuran species of Ecuador: Gastrotheca pseustes (Hemiphractidae) and Smilisca phaeota (Hylidae) and their relative vulnerability to environmental temperature change
(PUCE, 2015)
Thermal tolerance and morphological plasticity have allowed amphibians to survive in many unusual habitats. Amphibians show a particular life cycle, presenting different ranges of thermal regimes in their different ontogenetic ...
