Predicting organismal vulnerability to climate warming: roles of behaviour, physiology and adaptation (2012, background): “Interestingly, the increased tolerance range at high latitude consistently results from a much greater shift in CT min than in CT max [37,68,74,76,77,79], probably because minimum yearly (ambient) temperatures drop rapidly with latitude, whereas maximum yearly temperatures are relatively…”
Climatic niche at physiological and macroecological scales: the thermal tolerance–geographical range interface and niche dimensionality (2014, background): “It can be argued that the lack of or low predictability of Tmax and Tvar is due to other climatic parameters being more important for defining the thermal limits of the studied species in the geographical space (e.g. Addo-Bediako et al., 2000; Sunday et al., 2010).”
Testing the climate variability hypothesis in thermal tolerance limits of tropical and temperate tadpoles (2016, background): “This asymmetric pattern appears to be a general trend (Addo-Bediako et al., 2000; Huey et al., 2009; ClusellaTrullas et al., 2011; Ara ujo et al., 2013) and has even been considered a rule in terrestrial ectotherms (Brett’s rule, Gaston et al., 2009).”
Seasonality, the latitudinal gradient of diversity, and Eocene insects (2010, background): “In the Southern Hemisphere, moderate freeze tolerance is predominant, necessitating less time in preparation and emergence (Sinclair et al. 2003; Chown et al. 2004); moreover the lower lethal temperature for insects and the temperature at which ice crystals form decrease less with latitude than in t”
Thermal-safety margins and the necessity of thermoregulatory behavior across latitude and elevation (2014, neutral): “Physiological acclimation (cold hardening) may provide complementary protection, especially among insects (26, 42, 43).”
The fly that came in from the cold: geographic variation of recovery time from low‐temperature exposure in Drosophila subobscura (2003, background): “In recent years, the tolerance of insects to low temperature has been explored extensively ( Addo-Bediako, Chown & Gaston 2000; Hoffmann, Sorensen & Loeschcke 2003); and the physiological mechanisms involved in cold tolerance, especially of freeze tolerance and resistance, are increasingly well und”
A predicted niche shift corresponds with increased thermal resistance in an invasive mite, Halotydeus destructor (2013, background): “Cold tolerance traits such as CTMIN have been shown to correlate with limits to the distributions of other temperate arthropods (Addo-Bediako et al., 2000; Kellermann et al., 2012).”
Can amphibians take the heat? Vulnerability to climate warming in subtropical and temperate larval amphibian communities (2012, background): “Thus, low-latitude ectotherms would experi- ence environmental temperatures closer to their upper thermal thresholds (Addo-Bediako et al., 2000; Somero, 2002; Compton et al., 2007; Deutsch et al., 2008; Huey et al., 2009; Sunday et al., 2011).”
Exploring plastic and genetic responses to temperature variation using copper butterflies (2010, background): “While the majority of previous studies has focussed on latitudinal clines (e.g. Addo-Bediako et al. 2000, Loeschcke et al. 2000, Van Doorslaer & Stoks 2005), we compared populations of Lycaena tityrus from different altitudes (Karl et al. 2008a, 2009b,c, Karl & Fischer 2009).”
Ecogeographical rules: elements of a synthesis (2008, background): “In some cases the traits are expressed at the level of the individual organism, mirroring those examined intraspecifically, with the values typically being derived as means or medians across multiple individuals (e.g. body size, metabolic rate, clutch size, thermal tolerance; Kulesza, 1990; Hawkins ”
Understanding global patterns in amphibian geographic range size: does Rapoport rule? (2012, result): “More recent studies continue to find mixed support (Addo-Bediako et al., 2000; Jansson, 2003; Fernandez & Vrba, 2005), with available evidence suggesting the ‘rule’ is a phenomenon restricted to certain systems and regions (Ruggiero & Werenkraut, 2007).”
Thermal tolerance ranges and climate variability: A comparison between bivalves from differing climates (2007, background): “In insects, lower lethal thermal limits show the most dramatic change with latitude (Addo-Bediako et al., 2000; Sinclair et al., 2003).”
