Temperature limits to activity, feeding and metabolism in the Antarctic starfish Odontaster validus (2008, background): “In contrast, Peck et al. (2004) showed that Antarctic limpets, clams and scallops rapidly lose the ability to perform work in the face of increasing temperatures.”
The HSP70 heat shock response in the Antarctic fish Harpagifer antarcticus (2007, neutral): “In light of current and predicted seawater temperature increases Antarctic stenotherms are therefore at considerable future risk of seasonal exposure to ambient water temperatures that exceed those known to result in the loss of critical biological functions (Peck et al, 2004).”
Applications and future challenges in marine species distribution modeling (2011, background): “a generally 2–4 times narrower temperature limit than lower latitude species (Somero and DeVries, 1967; Peck et al., 2004).”
Seasonal progression of diatom assemblages in surface waters of Ryder Bay, Antarctica (2009, background): “…hydrographic features and local El Niño Southern Oscillation effects (Meredith et al. 2004), effects of polar temperature on benthic invertebrates (e.g. Brockington and Clarke 2001; Peck et al. 2004), and seasonal productivity dynamics from size-fractionated chlorophyll (Clarke et al. 2008).”
The physiology of climate change: how potentials for acclimatization and genetic adaptation will determine ‘winners’ and ‘losers’ (2010, background): “A study of 13 marine invertebrates from the Antarctic Peninsula found the 914 highest temperatures of acclimation that could be tolerated over periods of months were 1°C to 6°C (Peck et al., 2009).”
Lack of an HSP70 heat shock response in two Antarctic marine invertebrates (2008, background): “Although Antarctic invertebrates have survivable temperature envelopes between 5°C and 12°C above the minimum sea temperature of - HSP_Invertebrate 2°C (Peck 2002), they start to lose critical biological functions at temperatures 2-3°C higher than current summer maxima (Peck et al, 2004).”
Impacts of climate change on marine organisms and ecosystems. (2009, background): “temperature changes can impair physical function, and mortality can result from quite minor warming because organisms become unable to perform basic but imperative tasks [82].”
Oxygen- and capacity-limitation of thermal tolerance: a matrix for integrating climate-related stressor effects in marine ecosystems (2010, background): “Work in bivalves and fishes showed the onset of anaerobic succinate formation at high temperatures (van Dijk et al., 1999; Pörtner et al., 1999; Peck et al., 2004).”
Linking biogeography to physiology: Evolutionary and acclimatory adjustments of thermal limits (2005, background): “Antarctic marine invertebrates, too, are extreme stenotherms, with heat death occurring at temperatures only a few degrees above 0°C [24].”
Inducible heat tolerance in Antarctic notothenioid fishes (2006, background): “Failure of important physiological activities such as locomotion and burrowing may occur at even lower temperatures (Peck et al. 2004).”
Living in the now: physiological mechanisms to tolerate a rapidly changing environment. (2010, background): “LT50: lethal temperature, 50% (57, 133), focusing on especially vulnerable species (51, 104, 134) or playing key ecological roles (e.”
Patterns, processes and vulnerability of Southern Ocean benthos: a decadal leap in knowledge and understanding (2013, background): “Recent experimental work has shown that many species have a narrow temperature-survival window and are even more stenothermal in functionality (Peck et al. 2004).”
Climate Change and Invasibility of the Antarctic Benthos (2007, background): “Aerobic scope is the crucial factor setting temperature tolerance limits (Pörtner 2002, Pörtner et al. 2006) and activity limits (Peck et al. 2004) in marine animals.”
An overview of Southern Ocean zooplankton data: abundance, biomass, feeding and functional relationships (2012, background): “Consequently, loss of aerobic scope has been found at temperatures above as little as 2°C (Peck et al., 2004).”
