A model for thermal gradient and heat flow in central Chile: The role of thermal properties
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
The aim of this work is to quantify variations in heat flow and thermal gradient patterns at the latitude of central Chile and to evaluate the role of thermal properties of macro-geological units within the lithosphere. ...
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 ...
Variation in the Thermal Parameters of Odontophrynus occidentalis in the Monte Desert, Argentina: Response to the Environmental Constraints
(Wiley-liss, div John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2012-03)
We studied the variation of thermal parameters of Odontophrynus occidentalis between season (wet and dry) in the Monte desert (Argentina). We measured body temperatures, microhabitat temperatures, and operative temperatures; ...
Thermal structure, heat content and stability of two lakes in The National Park of Rio Doce Valley (Minas Gerais, Brazil)
(1989-02-01)
The thermal structure, heat content and stability were studied in Lakes Dom Helvécio and Carioca during an annual cycle. It was found that the maximum heat content, stability and work of the wind in Lake Dom Helvécio ...
Thermal tolerance and survival responses to scenarios of experimental climatic change: changing thermal variability reduces the heat and cold tolerance in a fly
(Springer, 2016)
Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. Most analyses of the impacts have focused on changes in mean temperature, but increasing variance will also impact organisms and populations. We assessed ...
Geographic variation in thermal physiological performance of the intertidal crab Petrolisthes violaceus along a latitudinal gradient.
Environmental temperature has profound effects on the biological performance and biogeographical distribution of ectothermic species. Variation of this abiotic factor across geographic gradients is expected to produce ...
Intraspecific variation in a physiological thermoregulatory mechanism: the case of the lizard Liolaemus tenuis (Liolaeminae)
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2008)
Acclimating to thermal changes: Intraspecific variation in a small mammal from the Andes Mountains
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2015-03)
Ambient temperature strongly affects an ecosystem's characteristics as well as the attributes of individuals, eventually determining the distribution of populations and species. Phenotypic plasticity plays a central role ...
