A framework for understanding gene expression plasticity and its influence on stress tolerance
Phenotypic plasticity can serve as a stepping stone towards adaptation. Recently, studies
have shown that gene expression contributes to emergent stress responses such as thermal …

Light, temperature, photosynthesis, heterotrophy, and the lower depth limits of mesophotic coral ecosystems
The attenuation of light with increasing depth, along with reduced exposure to wave stress,
plays an important role in vertically structuring coral reef communities. Benthic …

The temperature-size rule in ectotherms: may a general explanation exist after all?
RJ Walters, M Hassall - The American Naturalist, 2006 - journals.uchicago.edu
The majority of ectotherms mature at a larger size at lower rearing temperatures. Although
this temperature-size rule is well established, a general explanation for this phenomenon …

Relationship between the minimum and maximum temperature thresholds for development in insects
AFG Dixon, A Honěk, P Keil, MAA Kotela, AL Šizling… - Functional Ecology, 2009 - JSTOR
1. The objective of this study was to test the theoretical prediction that the thermal tolerance
range for development in insects should be about 20° C. 2. The data on the thermal …
