The co-evolution of acclimation capacity and thermal performance breadth has been a
contentious issue for decades, and little is known regarding the extent to which acclimation …

Temperature acclimation may be a critical component of the locomotor physiology and
ecology of ectothermic animals, particularly those living in eurythermal environments …

Rising water temperature associated with climate change is increasingly recognized as a
potential stressor for aquatic organisms, particularly for tropical ectotherms that are predicted …

The shape of performance curves and their plasticity define how individuals and populations
respond to environmental variability. In theory, maximum performance decreases with an …

Short‐term measures of metabolic responses to warmer environments are expected to
indicate the sensitivity of species to regional warming. However, given time, species may be …

Aerobic metabolic scope is a popular metric to estimate the capacity for temperature-
dependent performance in aquatic animals. Despite this popularity, little is known of the role …

The acclimation rate of physiological functions that bear fitness costs under a changing
environment is key to making predictions for fish, yet this has seldom been investigated. This …

Temperature acclimation may offset the increased energy expenditure (standard metabolic
rate, SMR) and reduced scope for activity (aerobic scope, AS) predicted to occur with local …

Thermal acclimation is a key process enabling ectotherms to cope with temperature change.
To undergo a successful acclimation response, ectotherms require energy and nutritional …

The physiology and behaviour of ectotherms are strongly influenced by environmental
temperature. A general hypothesis is that for performance traits, such as those related to …
