Functional and Phylogenetic Approaches to Forecasting Species' Responses to Climate Change (2012, background): “This is notable because ant species with higher critical thermal maxima were more abundant in experimental warming chambers (Diamond et al. 2012a).”
Coping with the cold: minimum temperatures and thermal tolerances dominate the ecology of mountain ants (2017, background): “This is in contrast to Diamond et al. (2012), who found small, but significant, phylogenetic signal in CTmax for ants in their global dataset.”
Thermal-safety margins and the necessity of thermoregulatory behavior across latitude and elevation (2014, unknown): “…analyses that predict large-scale patterns in the vulnerability of ectotherms to climate warming often invoke the concept of the “ thermal-safety margin ” (3 – 6), which measures the difference between a species ’ maximum tolerance to heat and the warm air temperatures it regularly experiences.”
Tolerance landscapes in thermal ecology (2014, background): “2 h are expected to differ 5 5 °C for an organism with z = 4 °C and 8 3 °C for z = 6 °C; hence, differences in assay duration might impact broad-scale comparative studies (Sunday, Bates & Dulvy 2011; Diamond et al. 2012; Hoffmann, Chown & Clusella-Trullas 2013; Ara ujo et al. 2013).”
Heat stress and the fitness consequences of climate change for terrestrial ectotherms (2013, result): “Several other recent analyses support the negative impacts of climate change for tropical ectotherms (Huey et al. 2009; Sinervo et al. 2010; Diamond et al. 2012; Bonebrake & Deutsch 2012; Thomas et al. 2012).”
Predicting organismal vulnerability to climate warming: roles of behaviour, physiology and adaptation (2012, background): “These ectotherms may be additionally vulnerable because they have limited acclimatization capacities [72], low heat tolerance [68,78,184] and already live in environments that are warm relative to T o [6,47,68,123,185,186].”
Terrestrial insects and climate change: adaptive responses in key traits (2019, methodology): “Estimates of upper thermal limits have been used to assess species’ climate change risk (Deutsch et al., 2008; Diamond et al., 2012; Kellermann et al., 2012b).”
