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 …

Observations of climate impacts on ecosystems highlight the need for an understanding of
organismal thermal ranges and their implications at the ecosystem level. Where changes in …

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 …

Predicting species responses to global warming is the holy grail of climate change science.
As temperature directly affects physiological rates, it is clear that a mechanistic …

An increasing body of knowledge suggests that the estimation of critical upper thermal limits
(CTmax) is highly dependent on the experimental methodology employed. Here, we employ …

In this article, we pointed out that understanding the physiology of differential climate change
effects on organisms is one of the many urgent challenges faced in ecology and …

Much recent theoretical and empirical work has sought to describe the physiological
mechanisms underlying thermal tolerance in animals. Leading hypotheses can be broadly …

Despite decades of research on the evolution of thermal physiology, at least one
fundamental issue remains unresolved: whether the maximal performance of a genotype …

Temperature and hypoxia would traditionally be considered as different environmental
factors, with specific implications for whole organism functioning. Development of the …

The acute thermal tolerance of ectotherms has been measured in a variety of ways; these
include assays where organisms are shifted abruptly to stressful temperatures and assays …
