Accelerating rates of environmental change and the continued loss of global biodiversity
threaten functions and services delivered by ecosystems. Much ecosystem monitoring and …

Upper thermal limits (CTmax) are frequently used to parameterize the fundamental niche of
ectothermic animals and to infer biogeographical distribution limits under current and future …

Temperature affects the rate of all biochemical processes in ectotherms, and is therefore
critical for determining their current and future distribution under global climate change …

This review is focused on the questions of why fish exhibit heat failure at thermal extremes
and which physiological mechanisms determine the acute upper thermal tolerance. We …

Abiotic conditions (eg, temperature and pH) fluctuate through time in most marine
environments, sometimes passing intensity thresholds that induce physiological stress …

Marine organisms are simultaneously exposed to anthropogenic stressors with likely
interactive effects, including synergisms in which the combined effects of multiple stressors …

Basal or standard metabolic rate reflects the minimum amount of energy required to
maintain body processes, while the maximum metabolic rate sets the ceiling for aerobic …

The effect of Ocean Acidification (OA) on marine biota is quasi-predictable at best. While
perturbation studies, in the form of incubations under elevated pCO2, reveal sensitivities and …

Ectotherms are considered to be particularly vulnerable to climate warming. Descriptions of
habitat temperatures and predicted changes in climate usually consider mean monthly …

The physical and ecological 'fingerprints' of anthropogenic climate change over the past
century are now well documented in many environments and taxa. We reviewed the …
