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 ...
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 ...
Genome sequence of the acid-tolerant strain Rhizobium sp. LPU83
(Elsevier Science, 2014-03)
Rhizobia are important members of the soil microbiome since they enter into nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with different legume host plants. Rhizobium sp. LPU83 is an acid-tolerant Rhizobium strain featuring a broad-host-range. ...
Climatic niche at physiological and macroecological scales: the thermal tolerance–geographical range interface and niche dimensionality
(Oxford, 2014-04)
Under the Hutchinsonian concept of the realized niche, biotic interactions and dispersal limitation may prevent species from fully occupying areas that they could tolerate physiologically. This can hamper the translation ...
Trading heat and hops for water: Dehydration effects on locomotor performance, thermal limits, and thermoregulatory behavior of a terrestrial toad
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-11-01)
Due to their highly permeable skin and ectothermy, terrestrial amphibians are challenged by compromises between water balance and body temperature regulation. The way in which such compromises are accommodated, under a ...
Seedling survival of Handroanthus impetiginosus (Mart ex DC) Mattos in a semi-arid environment through modified germination speed and post-germination desiccation tolerance
(Int Inst Ecology, 2015-11-01)
Uniform rapid seed germination generally forms a great risk for the plant population if subsequent intermittent precipitation causes desiccation and seedling death. Handroanthus impetiginosus can be found commonly in a ...
Ecological optima and tolerances of coastal benthic diatoms in a freshwater-mixohaline zone from the Río de La Plata estuary
(Inter-Research, 2010-11)
The purpose of this study was to explore the autecology of diatom species inhabiting the epipsammon and epiphyton in the freshwater-mixohaline zone of the Río de la Plata estuary. The diatoms are a conspicuous component ...
Cold tolerance mechanisms of two arthropods from the andean range of Central Chile: agathemera crassa (insecta: agathemeridae) and euathlus condorito (arachnida: theraphosidae)
(Elsevier, 2018-05)
Two strategies have been described for cold tolerance in arthropods: (1) freeze-tolerant organisms, which can survive the formation of ice crystals and (2) freeze-avoidant organisms, which prevent the ice crystal formation ...
Does the major aluminium-resistance gene in wheat, TaALMT1, also confer tolerance to alkaline soils?
(2018-03-01)
Aim: A major limitation to plant growth in acid soils is the prevalence of toxic Al3+. Most genotypic variation for acid soil-tolerance in wheat is linked with the Al3+-activated efflux of malate anions from roots which ...
