Abstract: Abstract Critical thermal limits are thought to be correlated with the elevational distribution of species living in tropical montane regions, but with upper limits being relatively invariant compared to lower limits. To test this hypothesis,… read more here.

Abstract: Organismal distributions are largely mediated by temperature, suggesting thermal trait variability plays a key role in defining species’ niches. We employed a trait-based approach to better understand how interand intraspecific thermal trait variability could explain… read more here.

Abstract: Global warming is a threat across the world that leads to estimates of the upper thermal limits of ectothermic species. Increased water temperature up-regulates oxygen consumption and metabolic rates, and alters the physiological processes. In… read more here.

Abstract: The critical thermal maximum (CTMAX) is the temperature at which animals exhibit loss of motor response because of a temperature-induced collapse of vital physiological systems. A central mechanism hypothesised to underlie the CTMAX of water-breathing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icaf078
Abstract: Synopsis As climate change progresses, it is important to be able to predict how the effects of elevated temperatures are affected by the ability of ectotherms to seek shelter. Many studies on ectotherms have suggested… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2017.0135
Abstract: Rising ocean temperatures are predicted to cause a poleward shift in the distribution of marine fishes occupying the extent of latitudes tolerable within their thermal range boundaries. A prevailing theory suggests that the upper thermal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tie.2019.2952785
Abstract: Accurately getting thermal limits (peak capacity and duration, maximum temperature, thermal dynamic, etc.) is very useful to avoid damage, verify reliability, reduce size, and determine overloading capability of motors and power devices. Conventional model-dependent thermal… read more here.

Abstract: Critical thermal limits (CTLs) constrain the performance of organisms, shaping their abundance, current distributions, and future distributions. Consequently, CTLs may also determine the quality of ecosystem services as well as organismal and ecosystem vulnerability to… read more here.

Abstract: The current state of anthropogenic climate change is particularly concerning for tropical insects, species predicted to be the most negatively affected. Researching climatic tolerance in social insects is challenging because adaptations exist at both individual… read more here.
