Adapting to climate change: a perspective from evolutionary physiology (2010, background): “…how and why these systems vary through space and time to ensure survival and reproduction lies at the very heart of evolutionary physiology (Prosser 1986, Hoffmann & Parsons 1997, Mangum & Hochachka 1998, Feder et al. 2000, Hochachka & Somero 2002, Sørensen et al. 2003, Chown et al. 2004).”
Non-commercial Research and Educational Use including without Limitation Use in Instruction at Your Institution, Sending It to Specific Colleagues That You Know, and Providing a Copy to Your Institution's Administrator. All Other Uses, Reproduction and Distribution, including without Limitation Comm (2005, unknown): “In the absence of reasonable initial guesses for order parameters or dipole–dipole couplings and chemical shielding parameters, convergence is still reached and excellent fits are obtained.”
Animal temperature limits and ecological relevance: effects of size, activity and rates of change (2009, background): “This is a move towards such a community and wider-level temperature biology approach, and is aimed at making macrophysiology scale analyses (Chown et al. 2004; Chown & Gaston 2008) to understand thermal biology and the landscape and ecosystem scale effects of change.”
Climatic niche at physiological and macroecological scales: the thermal tolerance–geographical range interface and niche dimensionality (2014, background): “This bridging between macroecology and physiology has been termed ‘macrophysiology’ (Chown et al., 2004), a field that aims to describe general properties of the interface between individuals’ endurance of environmental conditions and the geographical patterns of distribution of their species (see…”
Broad-scale ecological implications of ectothermy and endothermy in changing environments (2012, background): “New information on species physiological traits and their geographic distribution, increasingly detailed global environmental data layers, and obvious research challenges in the face of rapid climate change have reinvigorated a broad-scale perspective on physiological ecology (Chown et al., 2004; Ga”
Integrating physiology and life history to improve fisheries management and conservation (2006, background): “There were numerous studies of a more general nature focused on theory that crossed taxa (n 1⁄4 10; Chown et al. 2004; Bonsall 2006).”
Are mountain passes higher in the tropics? Janzen's hypothesis revisited. (2006, background): “How climate shapes variation in the physiology, ecology, and evolution of organisms is a fundamental issue for organismal biologists (Dobzhansky, 1950; Andrewartha and Birch, 1954; Pianka, 1966; MacArthur, 1972; Brown et al. , 1996; Spicer and Gaston, 1999; Chown et al. , 2004 a ).”
Physiological Correlates of Geographic Range in Animals (2011, background): “Given that the range of tolerance of an organism is related to its phenotypic flexibility, the CVH implies that the physiological flexibility of species (and/or its populations and individuals) should increase with latitude (Chown et al. 2004).”
Thermal tolerance ranges and climate variability: A comparison between bivalves from differing climates (2007, background): “A large scale approach of examining physiological traits, macrophysiology (Chown et al., 2004), has proven promising in insects, and is expected to be important for understanding species' distributions in the marine environment (Osovitz and Hofmann, 2007).”
