Tolerance landscapes in thermal ecology
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2014)
Summary: How thermal tolerance estimated in the laboratory can be extrapolated to natural settings remains a contentious subject. Here, we argue that the general premise that a single temperature can accurately describe ...
Non-adaptive strategies explain variations in development rate under different thermal scenarios.
(2009)
Objective: To test for an effect of isomorphy on development rate under different experimental thermal environments. Methods: In three different thermal environments, we studied the following characters as response variables ...
Fitness surfaces and local thermal adaptation in <i>Drosophila</i> along a latitudinal gradient
(2024)
Local adaptation is commonly cited to explain species distribution, but how fitness varies along continuous geographical gradients is not well understood. Here, we combine thermal biology and life-history theory to demonstrate ...
From thermal boredom to thermal pleasure: a brief literature review
(ANTAC - Associação Nacional de Tecnologia do Ambiente Construído, 2012)
Adaptive model for outdoor thermal comfort assessment in an Oasis city of arid climate
(Elsevier, 2015-02)
One of the determining factors for the use of outdoor spaces is the experienced thermal comfort by people. There is a wide range of thermal indices. However, previous studies in Mendoza Metropolitan Area, Argentina, revealed ...
An adapted thermal-gradient block for the germination of photoblastic seeds
(Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2010-12-01)
Este trabalho descreve um bloco termo-gradiente com iluminação interna, adaptado para estudos com sementes que requerem luz para germinar. Para se aferir o desempenho do equipamento, este foi usado num experimento sobre o ...
Confort térmico en edificios educativos naturalmente ventilados: un estudio en bioclima templado-seco
(Universidad Católica de Colombia, 2023-01-16)
El bienestar, la eficiencia y el confort de las personas pueden verse afectados por las condiciones adversas del ambiente térmico. En México, los estudios que abordan dicho fenómeno se han desarrollado principalmente en ...
Clinal variation in developmental time and viability, and the response to thermal treatments in two species of Drosophila
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2008-10)
The present study first addressed the question of whether developmental time (DT) and viability (VT) vary clinally along latitudinal and altitudinal gradients in Drosophila buzzatii, an autochthonous specialist and the ...
