Sub-Antarctic freshwater invertebrate thermal tolerances: an assessment of critical thermal limits and behavioral responses
(MDPI, 2020)
Physiological thermal limits of organisms are linked to their geographic distribution. The assessment of such limits can provide valuable insights when monitoring for environmental thermal alterations. Using the dynamic ...
Upper thermal limits and risk of mortality of coastal Antarctic ectotherms
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2023-01)
Antarctic marine animals face one of the most extreme thermal environments, characterized by a stable and narrow range of low seawater temperatures. At the same time, the Antarctic marine ecosystems are threatened by ...
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 ...
Vulnerability to climate warming and acclimation capacity of tropicaland temperate coastal organisms
(2015-11)
tEcological forecasting on the likely impacts of climate warming is crucial at a time when several ecosys-tems seem to be responding to this environmental threat. Among the most important questions are:which are the most ...
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 ...
Upper limits of laser pulse widths required for melanosome and epidermal specific damage
(1988)
A critical analysis of thermal relaxation times used as an upper limit of laser pulse widths after the absorption of laser radiation by pigmented epidermal lesions has been made. Only the case in which the radiation is ...
Considerations for Assessing Maximum Critical Temperatures in Small Ectothermic Animals: Insights from Leaf-Cutting Ants
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCESAN FRANCISCO, 2012)
The thermal limits of individual animals were originally proposed as a link between animal physiology and thermal ecology. Although this link is valid in theory, the evaluation of physiological tolerances involves some ...
The interplay between thermal tolerance and life history is associated with the biogeography of Drosophila species
(2010)
Background: Physiological tolerances are important determinants of the biogeography of species. Questions: What is the relationship between thermal tolerance and the biogeographic origin of species? What are the relationships ...
Thermal physiological traits and plasticity of metabolism are sensitive to biogeographic breaks in a rock-pool marine shrimp.
Populations of broadly distributed species commonly exhibit latitudinal variation in thermal tolerance and physiological plasticity. This variation can be interrupted when biogeographic breaks occur across the range of a ...
Adequacy of thermal ambience in silk production sheds with different toppings
(2016-01-01)
At every stage of life of the Bombyx mori there is a great temperature (between 20 and 28°C) and favorable humidity (greater than 70%) to their physiological development. This paper proposed analytical method for evaluating ...
