Energetics of lizard embryos at fluctuating temperatures.
Most animals experience fluctuations in temperature during development, but studies of energetics have ignored the potential influence of these thermal fluctuations. We measured the energetics of Sceloporus undulatus lizard embryos under two conditions that differ realistically in the mean and variance of temperature (diel cycles of 20 degrees -30 degrees and 20 degrees -34 degrees C). Our goal...
متن کاملChanges in gene expression associated with acclimation to constant temperatures and fluctuating daily temperatures in an annual killifish Austrofundulus limnaeus.
Eurythermal ectotherms commonly thrive in environments that expose them to large variations in temperature on daily and seasonal bases. The roles played by alterations in gene expression in enabling eurytherms to adjust to these two temporally distinct patterns of thermal stress are poorly understood. We used cDNA microarray analysis to examine changes in gene expression in a eurythermal fish, ...
متن کاملLipid composition and extreme temperature tolerance following exposure to fluctuating temperatures in Orchesella cincta
Ectotherms commonly adjust storage and membrane lipid composition to ambient temperature to counteract detrimental thermal effects on lipid fluidity. The effect of repeated temperature fluctuations on fatty acid composition and thermal tolerance was investigated. We exposed Orchesella cincta to two constant temperatures (5ºC and 20°C), and a continuously fluctuating treatment (5ºC/20ºC every tw...
متن کاملThe growth of largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides (Lacepede), under constant and fluctuating temperatures
Growth of largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides, was tested under constant (1 5" C, 29" C) and cyclic ( I 8 h at 15" C, 6 h at 29" C) temperature conditions. Six groups of 10 fish each were tested; one group under each constant condition, and four groups in the thermocycles. The four latter groups differed in the timing of their feeding; one group each was fed at the start and middle of the wa...
متن کاملStochastic Evolution of Populations in Fluctuating Environments
Why does cooperation abound in Nature? Why are there so many coexisting species and not just a few dominant ones? These are issues of paramount importance in biology and ecology and are among the “big questions facing science” [1]. In fact, while there are many examples of cooperative behaviour in Nature, these are challenges to Darwinian evolution since altruism increases the fitness of a popu...
