Phenotypic plasticity of thermal tolerances in five oribatid mite species from sub-Antarctic Marion Island.
The extent to which phenotypic plasticity might mediate short-term responses to environmental change is controversial. Nonetheless, theoretical work has made the prediction that plasticity should be common, especially in predictably variable environments by comparison with those that are either stable or unpredictable. Here we examine these predictions by comparing the phenotypic plasticity of ...
متن کاملCritical thermal limits, temperature tolerance and water balance of a sub-Antarctic kelp fly, Paractora dreuxi (Diptera: Helcomyzidae).
Paractora dreuxi displays distinct ontogenetic differences in thermal tolerance and water balance. Larvae are moderately freeze tolerant. Mean larval onset of chill coma was -5.1 degrees C, and onset of heat stupor was 35.5 degrees C. Larval supercooling point (SCP) was -3.3 degrees C with 100% recovery, although mortality was high below -4 degrees C. Starvation caused SCP depression in the lar...
متن کاملCritical thermal limits depend on methodological context.
A full-factorial study of the effects of rates of temperature change and start temperatures was undertaken for both upper and lower critical thermal limits (CTLs) using the tsetse fly, Glossina pallidipes. Results show that rates of temperature change and start temperatures have highly significant effects on CTLs, although the duration of the experiment also has a major effect. Contrary to a wi...
متن کاملThermal limits and adaptation in marine Antarctic ectotherms: an integrative view.
A cause and effect understanding of thermal limitation and adaptation at various levels of biological organization is crucial in the elaboration of how the Antarctic climate has shaped the functional properties of extant Antarctic fauna. At the same time, this understanding requires an integrative view of how the various levels of biological organization may be intertwined. At all levels analys...
متن کاملSynthesis of thermal tolerances of the common freshwater fish species in large Western Europe rivers
The effects of industrial cooling water on fish communities were widely debated at the end of the seventies, when large thermal power plants were being developed. This led to numerous research programs on thermal tolerance in fish. The recent warming climatic period and especially the 2003 heat wave have brought thermal biology back to center stage. The work presented here has consisted in anal...
