Management of fish populations for conservation in thermally variable systems requires an
understanding of the fish's underlying physiology and responses to thermal stress …

I have quantified the effects of temperature on the performance of killifish (Fundulus
heteroclitus) from the northern and southern ends of the species' distribution along the East …

Invasive species exert negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems on a global scale,
which may be enhanced in the future by climate change. Knowledge of how invasive …

The physiological and genetical adaptation of fishes to environmental temperatures has
been studied by analyzing data concerning:(i) the oxygen binding properties of …

Habitat temperature is a major determinant of performance and activity in fish. We
summarize published studies of 173 North American freshwater fish species to examine the …

Upper thermal limits are considered a key determinant of a population's ability to persist in
the face of extreme heat events. However, these limits differ considerably among individuals …

Regional endothermy, the conservation of metabolic heat by vascular countercurrent heat
exchangers to elevate the temperature of the slow-twitch locomotor muscle, eyes and brain …

Temperature is the most all-pervasive environmental factor that influences aquatic
organisms. Nearly all fish species are, for practical purposes, thermal conformers, Le. they …

Fishes faced with novel thermal conditions often modify physiological functioning to
compensate for elevated temperatures. This physiological plasticity (thermal acclimation) …

Heat tolerance is commonly determined by exposing organisms to increasing temperatures
until they show symptoms of thermal stress or death. Here we carried out an experiment on a …
