Climate variability predicts thermal limits of aquatic insects across elevation and latitude (2017, methodology): “We measured critical thermal limits using thermal ramping (Duarte et al., 2012; Lutterschmidt & Hutchison, 1997).”
Plasticity in thermal tolerance has limited potential to buffer ectotherms from global warming (2015, background): “As a result, organisms across the globe will be more likely to experience temperatures beyond their physiological limits unless they can in some way buffer themselves from environmental change [2,3].”
Testing the climate variability hypothesis in thermal tolerance limits of tropical and temperate tadpoles (2016, methodology): “the difference between CTmax and Tmax) (Deutsch et al., 2008; Duarte et al., 2012).”
The body temperature of active amphibians along a tropical elevation gradient: patterns of mean and variance and inference from environmental data (2013, background): “favouring exposure to high temperatures may affect species to different extents depending on the thermal tolerances of individuals (Duarte et al. 2012).”
Variable response of anuran calling activity to daily precipitation and temperature: implications for climate change (2013, background): “The overall response of amphibians to climate change, e.g., increasing temperature and drier conditions, has been negative (e.g., Pounds et al. 1999, Araujo et al. 2006, Duarte et al. 2012).”
Vulnerability to climate warming and acclimation capacity of tropical and temperate coastal organisms (2016, background): “In fact, thermal studies regarding different taxa from different latitudes, such as terrestrial insects, amphibians and marine invertebrates, have shown that tropical organisms are living quite close to their thermal limits (e.g. Stillman, 2003; Deutsch et al., 2008; Tewksbury et al., 2008; Duarte e”
Climatic niche at physiological and macroecological scales: the thermal tolerance–geographical range interface and niche dimensionality (2014, methodology): “The data used here covers species from three communities from distinct environmental conditions: the subtropical warm Gran Chaco region; the subtropical Atlantic forest; and temperate Europe and northern Africa (see Duarte et al., 2012, for further details).”
Geographic variation in vulnerability to climate warming in a tropical Caribbean lizard (2012, background): “Several broad-scale analyses of terrestrial ectotherms have suggested global patterns of susceptibility to this warming (e.g. Deutsch et al. 2008; Huey et al. 2009; Kearney, Shine & Porter 2009; Dillon, Wang & Huey 2010; Sinervo et al. 2010; Duarte et al. 2012).”
