This study examines how early-life food shortage and elevated temperature interact to affect female guppy life history traits, finding that higher temperatures reduce reproduction and increase mortality, with limited effects from food restriction.

This study shows that sea surface freshening suppresses the thermal tipping point of marine copepods, reducing their survival and impacting marine ecosystems.

This study examines the hypoxia response of Polar cod under different temperatures, finding low Pcrit but no metabolic downregulation or anaerobic response, suggesting metabolic compensation rather than tolerance.

This study examines thermoregulation in moulting king penguins, finding that they experience hyperthermia and increased peripheral heat loss, supporting the warm-up hypothesis for feather development.

This study examines how Na+/K+-ATPase activity maintains muscle membrane potential in Drosophila species under different temperatures, finding that cold-tolerant species retain this electrogenic effect while sensitive species lose it.

This study examines how temperature affects flight performance in two stingless bee species and how their geographic ranges influence their thermal performance curves.

This study compares thermal tolerance and DNA damage in Arctic copepod Calanus hyperboreus and temperate copepods from the Oslofjord, finding C. hyperboreus more tolerant to higher temperatures.

This study investigates how sea turtle and lizard cells respond to hypoxia, finding that sea turtle cells adapt more effectively by optimizing oxygen use and maintaining mitochondrial structure.

This paper reviews literature and analyzes studies showing photoperiodism for diapause induction evolves predictably with latitude, while clinal variation in life history and thermal plasticity is inconsistent across taxa.

This study shows that elevated rearing temperature reduces swimming ability and disrupts metabolism in yellow perch larvae.

This study shows that cool ocean temperatures do not buffer thermal stress for juvenile Pisaster ochraceus during extreme heat events, leading to increased mortality and reduced feeding.

The paper evaluates how plasticity and evolution interact in Pierid butterflies in response to climate change, finding differences in thermal adaptation between populations.

This study shows that temperature, not diet, shapes latitudinal clines in stress tolerance traits and their plasticity in Drosophila melanogaster.

This study examines seasonal coat color changes and sexual size dimorphism in Hong Kong feral cattle, finding paler coats in wet seasons and male-biased dimorphism driven by thermoregulation.

This study investigates how bacterial microbiomes contribute to thermal tolerance in three intertidal snail species under heat stress.

This study investigates whether amino acid substitutions in the Na+/K+-ATPase contribute to salt tolerance in insects using gene-edited Drosophila models, finding that some substitutions enhance tolerance while others do not.

The paper examines temperature scaling in the early embryonic cell cycle across multiple species, finding similar activation energies and explaining deviations using computational models and experimental data.

The paper compiles a thermal tolerance database for freshwater fish and invertebrates, including 5000+ records from 800+ species, to assess thermal risks under current and future environmental conditions.

This study examines how transgenerational effects influence the thermal performance of a Drosophila-parasitoid system under climate change, finding they accelerate extinction risk.

The paper identifies genes under selection and evolutionary convergence in hibernating mammals using metabolomic data and bioinformatic analyses.

This study shows that heat tolerance evolution in Drosophila subobscura also improves resistance to desiccation and starvation, but these effects depend on thermal selection intensity and sex.
