Effects of temperature change on mussel, Mytilus.
An increasing body of research has demonstrated the often idiosyncratic responses of organisms to climate-related factors, such as increases in air, sea and land surface temperatures, especially when coupled with non-climatic stressors. This argues that sweeping generalizations about the likely impacts of climate change on organisms and ecosystems are likely less valuable than process-based exp...
متن کاملEvolutionary Adaptation to Temperature. Vii. Extension of the Upper Thermal Limit of Escherichia Coli.
What factors influence the ability of populations to adapt to extreme environments that lie outside their current tolerance limits? We investigated this question by exposing experimental populations of the bacterium Escherichia coli to lethally high temperatures. We asked: (1) whether we could obtain thermotolerant mutants with an extended upper thermal limit by this selective screen; (2) wheth...
متن کاملSample Size Determination for a Nonparametric Upper Tolerance Limit for any Order Statistic
A nonparametric upper tolerance limit (UTL) bounds a specified percentage of the population distribution with specified confidence. The most common UTL is based on the largest order statistic (the maximum) where the number of samples required for a given confidence and coverage is easily derived for an infinitely large population. However, for other order statistics such as the second largest, ...
متن کاملAt the edge of the thermal window: effects of elevated temperature on the resting metabolism, hypoxia tolerance and upper critical thermal limit of a widespread African cichlid
Tropical inland fishes are predicted to be especially vulnerable to thermal stress because they experience small temperature fluctuations that may select for narrow thermal windows. In this study, we measured resting metabolic rate (RMR), critical oxygen tension (P crit) and critical thermal maximum (CTMax) of the widespread African cichlid (Pseudocrenilabrus multicolor victoriae) in response t...
متن کاملUpper limit of the lifetime of 16B.
The exact location of the drip lines is one of the most stringent tests of nuclear structure models. The predictions for stability of nuclei along the proton drip line can be tested up to very heavy nuclei. Beyond the proton drip line, the large Coulomb barrier and the angular momentum barrier can lead to very long lifetimes for proton-unbound nuclei ~proton radioactivity! @1#. Several of these...
