Environmental variability in aquatic ecosystems makes the study of ectotherms complex and
challenging. Physiologists have historically overcome this hurdle in the laboratory by using …

Human-induced climate change is occurring rapidly. Ectothermic organisms are particularly
vulnerable to these temperature changes due to their reliance on environmental …

The Commentary by Pörtner, Bock and Mark (Pörtner et al., 2017) elaborates on the oxygen-
and capacity-limited thermal tolerance (OCLTT) hypothesis. Journal of Experimental Biology …

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 …

This paper is one of several in this Special Issue of the International Journal of Hyperthermia
that discusses the current state of knowledge about the human health risks of hyperthermia …

Thermoregulation is vital for survival but the interplay between toxic insults and
thermoregulatory mechanisms is often poorly understood. Temperature and Toxicology: An …

With climate change creating a more volatile atmosphere, heatwaves that create thermal
stress for living systems will become stronger and more frequent. Using the flour beetle …

During the last quarter of a century, the evolution of the thermal sensitivity of performance in
ectotherms has become a major focus of research programs in evolutionary physiology …

Global warming is predicted to increase both acute and prolonged thermal challenges for
aquatic ectotherms. Severe short-and medium-term thermal stress over hours to days may …

Over the last decade, numerous studies have investigated the role of oxygen in setting
thermal tolerance in aquatic animals, and there has been particular focus on arthropods …
