As most fish are ectotherms, their physiology is strongly affected by temperature.
Temperature affects their metabolic rate and thus their energy balance and behavior …

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 …

1. Rearing temperature may affect juvenile mortality, growth and development rates, adult
mortality rate, and/or population growth rate. Increased juvenile growth rate may affect the …

We address the question of whether freeze-tolerance, freeze-avoidance, or mixed strategy
represents the best adaptation for overwintering ectotherms to endure severe winter. To this …

Temperature imposes a constraint on the rates and outcomes of ecological processes that
determine community‐and ecosystem‐level patterns. The application of metabolic scaling …

The impact of anthropogenic climate change on terrestrial organisms is often predicted to
increase with latitude, in parallel with the rate of warming. Yet the biological impact of rising …

The universal temperature dependence of metabolic rates has been used to predict how
ocean biology will respond to ocean warming. Determining the temperature sensitivity of …

A major challenge for fish biologists in the 21st century is to predict the biotic effects of global
climate change. With marked changes in biogeographic distribution already in evidence for …

Environmental signals act primarily on physiological systems, which then influence higher‐
level functions such as movement patterns and population dynamics. Increases in average …

Global warming is increasing the overheating risk for many organisms, though the potential
for plasticity in thermal tolerance to mitigate this risk is largely unknown. In part, this …
