Climate warming, resource availability, and the metabolic meltdown of ectotherms

RB Huey, JG Kingsolver - The American Naturalist, 2019 - journals.uchicago.edu

Beyond thermal performance curves: modeling time-dependent effects of thermal stress on ectotherm growth rates

JG Kingsolver, HA Woods - The American Naturalist, 2016 - journals.uchicago.edu
Thermal performance curves have been widely used to model the ecological responses of

Optimum growth temperature declines with body size within fish species

M Lindmark, J Ohlberger, A Gårdmark - Global Change Biology, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
According to the temperature‐size rule, warming of aquatic ecosystems is generally
predicted to increase individual growth rates but reduce asymptotic body sizes of …

Acute, diel, and annual temperature variability and the thermal biology of ectotherms

BJ Kefford, CK Ghalambor, B Dewenter… - Global Change …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library

Can we predict ectotherm responses to climate change using thermal performance curves and body temperatures?

BJ Sinclair, KE Marshall, MA Sewell… - Ecology …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Thermal performance curves (TPC s), which quantify how an ectotherm's body temperature
(Tb) affects its performance or fitness, are often used in an attempt to predict organismal …
