Understanding the factors affecting thermal tolerance is crucial for predicting the impact
climate change will have on ectotherms. However, the role developmental plasticity plays in …

Determining the resilience of a species or population to climate change stressors is an
important but difficult task because resilience can be affected both by genetically based …

Aim Understanding and predicting the biological consequences of climate change requires
considering the thermal sensitivity of organisms relative to environmental temperatures. One …

In many fishes, upper thermal tolerance is thought to be limited in part by the heart's ability to
meet increased oxygen demands during periods of high temperature. Temperature …

Fish physiological performance is directly regulated by their thermal environment.
Intraspecific comparisons are essential to ascertain the vulnerability of fish populations to …

The cardiorespiratory system distributes oxygen and other factors (nutrients, wastes,
hormones etc.) around the body and thus plays a central role in mediating many …

Conservation of species facing environmental change requires an understanding of
interpopulation physiological variation. However, physiological data are often scarce and …

Water temperature is the major controlling factor that shapes the physiology, behaviour and,
ultimately, survival of aquatic ectotherms. Here we examine temperature effects on the …

Climate warming is expected to alter the distribution, abundance, and impact of non-native
species in aquatic ecosystems. In laboratory experiments, we measured the maximum …

Anthropogenic climate change is expected to have pervasive impacts on the performance
and viability of fishes, as increasing temperatures create aerobically constrained …
