Terrestrial ectotherms are likely to face increased periods of heat stress as mean
temperatures and temperature variability increase over the next few decades. Here, we …

Environments are changing rapidly, and to cope with these changes, organisms have to
adapt. Adaptation can take many shapes and occur at different speeds, depending on the …

Thermal performance curves have been widely used to model the ecological responses of
ectotherms to variable thermal environments and climate change. Such models ignore the …

The biphasic hormetic response to stress, defined by low-dose stimulation and high-dose
inhibition is frequently observed in insects. Various molecular and biochemical responses …

Most terrestrial ectotherms experience diurnal and seasonal variation in temperature.
Because thermal performance curves are non-linear, mean performance can differ in …

To cope with stressful environmental temperatures, organisms can enhance
thermotolerance when exposed to sub‐lethal temperatures before thermal stress, a …

Temperature is an important selective agent in nature. Consequently, temperature-induced
plasticity which may help buffering detrimental effects of temperature variation has received …

Thermal tolerance and its plasticity are important for understanding ectotherm responses to
climate change. However, it is unclear whether plasticity is traded‐off at the expense of …

Variable thermal environments experienced by most organisms warrant mechanisms to
adjust the expression of phenotypic values to environmental needs. Here we explored short …

For rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, high temperature is a major abiotic stress that limits
its growth and productivity. In this study, spleen macrophage respiratory burst (RB), serum …
