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 ...
Beyond a single temperature threshold: applying a cumulative thermal stress framework to plant heat tolerance
(2023)
Most plant thermal tolerance studies focus on single critical thresholds, which are arbitrary and phenomenological, limiting the generality of findings across studies. In animals and microbes, thermal tolerance landscapes ...
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 ...
Improvement on the calculation of D2O moderated critical systems with new thermal neutron scattering libraries
(Elsevier, 2014-05)
To improve the evaluations in thermal sublibraries, we developed a set of thermal neutron scattering cross sections (scattering kernels) for the deuterium and oxygen bound in heavy water in the ENDF-6 format. These new ...
Sublethal concentrations of chlorpyrifos induce changes in the thermal sensitivity and tolerance of anuran tadpoles in the toad Rhinella arenarum?
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-03)
Amphibians are considered one of the groups most susceptible to chemical contamination, therefore are good bio-indicators of aquatic pollution. Synergistic effects of temperature and pesticides have been found in amphibians ...
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 ...
Effect of combined bending strain and thermal cycling on the voltage-current characteristic curves of Bi-2223 tapes
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005-06-01)
High critical temperature superconductors are evolving from a scientific research subject into large-scale application devices. In order to meet this development demand they must withstand high current capacity under ...
Water temperature affects aggressive interactions in a Neotropical cichlid fish
(2018-01-01)
Changes in water temperature may affect the aggressive behavior of aquatic organisms, such as fish, either by changing some physiological mechanisms or by increasing the probability of encounters between individuals as a ...
