Plasticity in the critical thermal maximum (CT max) helps ectotherms survive in variable
thermal conditions. Yet, little is known about the environmental mechanisms modulating its …

Current climate change is generating accelerated increase in extreme heat events and
organismal plastic adjustments in upper thermal tolerances,(critical thermal maximum …

Understanding the intricate relationship between temperature and physiological processes
in ectotherm vertebrates is crucial for predicting how these animals respond to …

Biological and methodological factors influence the upper thermal limits (UTL) of ectothermic
animals, but most factors have been studied independently. Few studies have integrated …

Daily thermal fluctuations (DTFs) impact the capacity of ectotherms to maintain performance
and energetic demands because of thermodynamic effects on physiological processes …

Plasticity in heat tolerance provides ectotherms the ability to reduce overheating risk during
thermal extremes. However, the tolerance–plasticity trade‐off hypothesis states that …

Marine ectotherms are often sensitive to thermal stress, and certain life stages can be
particularly vulnerable (eg, larvae or spawners). In this study, we investigated the critical …

An organism's thermal limits provide valuable insights into species distributions and
potential climate change impacts. The critical thermal maximum (CTmax) in particular has …

Temperature is arguably one of the most critical environmental factors impacting organisms
at molecular, organismal, and ecological levels. Temperature variation across elevation may …

Most of the literature on temperature–organism interactions rely on mean temperature
(mostly air), disregarding the real complexity of this variable. There is a growing consensus …
