Can amphibians take the heat? Vulnerability to climate warming in subtropical and temperate larval amphibian communities
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2012-02)
Predicting the biodiversity impacts of global warming implies that we know where and with what magnitude these impacts will be encountered. Amphibians are currently the most threatened vertebrates, mainly due to habitat ...
Vulnerability to warming in a desert amphibian tadpole community: the role of interpopulational variation
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-12)
Current assessments of organismal vulnerability to global warming are focusing on physiological trait-based indices that may allow biologically sounding estimates of heating risk at the local scale. However, intraspecific ...
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 ...
Using aerobic exercise to evaluate sub-lethal tolerance of acute warming in fishes
(2020-05-01)
We investigated whether fatigue from sustained aerobic swimming provides a sub-lethal endpoint to define tolerance of acute warming in fishes, as an alternative to loss of equilibrium (LOE) during a critical thermal maximum ...
Intraspecific variation in tolerance of warming in fishes
(2020-01-01)
Intraspecific variation in key traits such as tolerance of warming can have profound effects on ecological and evolutionary processes, notably responses to climate change. The empirical evidence for three primary elements ...
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 ...
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 ...
Thermal sensitivity of performance of Phymaturus palluma (Liolaemidae) in the highlands of Aconcagua: vulnerability to global warming in the Andes
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2019-05-17)
Ectotherms are especially vulnerable to climate change due to their dependence on environmental thermal conditions to obtain adequate body temperatures for physiological performance. An approach to predict the impact of ...
Effect of warming rate on the critical thermal maxima of crabs, shrimp and fish
(2015)
he threat of global warming has prompted numerous recent studies on the thermal tolerance of marine species. A widely used method to determine the upper thermal limit has been the Critical Thermal Maximum (CTMax), a dynamic ...
