Thermal Adaptation


Mechanisms of thermal adaptation and evolutionary potential of ...

Heterogeneous and ever-changing thermal environments drive the evolution of populations and species, especially when extreme conditions increase selection ...

Thermal adaptation best explains Bergmann's and Allen's Rules ...

Bergmann's and Allen's rules state that endotherms should be larger and have shorter appendages in cooler climates.

Thermal adaptation in the built environment: a literature review

One of the most important findings from our review of field evidence was the distinction between thermal comfort responses in air-conditioned vs. naturally ...

Thermal Adaptation: How Your Body Adjusts To Temperature

Put one hand in the bowl with the cold water, and the other in the hot water for about a minute. Now put both hands in the bowl of warm water.

Thermal adaptation and acclimation of ectotherms from differing ...

However, thermal acclimation and adaptation of fishes from variable environments have not been well studied, and therefore, the ability to predict the adaptive ...

Thermal Adaptation: A Theoretical and Empirical Synthesis

This book draws on current evolutionary paradigms (optimization, quantitative genetics, and genetic algorithms) to establish a theory of thermal ...

Quantifying thermal adaptation of soil microbial respiration - Nature

We constructed a series of temperature response curves of microbial respiration (given unlimited substrate) using soils sampled from around New Zealand.

Thermal Adaptation of Viruses and Bacteria - PMC

We studied the adaptation process of bacteria and viruses at varied environmental temperatures. We found that a broad distribution of protein stabilities ...

Speed of thermal adaptation of terrestrial vegetation alters Earth's ...

We show that the vegetation's speed of adaptation to temperature changes through eco-evolutionary processes can strongly influence global rates of organic ...

Thermal adaptation and phenotypic plasticity in a warming world

We did detect plasticity to temperature; embryos developed 2.5 times longer (189 days) in the coolest regime compared to the warmest regime (74 days). We also ...

Adaptation to fluctuating temperatures across life stages in ...

Increasing temperature fluctuations are expected to generate selection for the evolution of both heat and cold tolerance, which may involve multiple, ...

Genetic architecture of thermal adaptation in Escherichia coli - PNAS

Three of the duplications were at 2.85 Mb of the E. coli chromosome, providing evidence for the replicability of the adaptation to high temperature. Four ...

Thermal Adaptation: a Theoretical and Empirical Analysis. Michael J ...

This monograph clearly is a milestone among those written in the field of thermal biology and must be considered essential reading for specialists in the area.

Rapid evolution of metabolic traits explains thermal adaptation in ...

Tolerance to high temperature evolved after ≈ 100 generations via greater down-regulation of respiration relative to photosynthesis.

Thermal Adaptation in the Built Environment: a Literature Review

After a brief discussion of conventional heat balance models, we describe a conceptual model of thermal adaptation, present a wide range of both climate chamber ...

Predicting Thermal Adaptation by Looking Into Populations ...

Here we condense current and historical population genomic tools to study thermal adaptation and outline key developments (genomic prediction, machine learning)

Thermal adaptation of net ecosystem exchange - BG

Our results imply that the net ecosystem exchange of carbon adapts to the temperature across the geographical range due to intrinsic connections between ...

Thermal Adaptation and Comfort Zones in Urban Semi-Outdoor ...

In this work, thermal adaptation characteristics and thermal comfort zones were investigated in urban semi-outdoor environments in Tokyo.

Trade‐Offs in Thermal Adaptation: The Need for a Molecular to ...

As a trade‐off in eurythermal cold adaptation (indicated by arrows), standard metabolism and aerobic exercise capacity increase in the cold (D; Pörtner 2002b), ...

Thermal adaptation in endotherms: climate and phylogeny interact ...

We show that phylogenetic relatedness and climate interact to determine metabolic capacities, body temperature and morphology in a wild rat (Rattus fuscipes).
