DEBBIES Dataset to study Life Histories across Ectotherms [PDF]
Scientific DataDemographic models are used to explore how life history traits structure life history strategies across species. This study presents the DEBBIES dataset that contains estimates of eight life history traits (length at birth, puberty and maximum length ...

Warming-driven migration of enterotypes mediates host health and disease statuses in ectotherm Litopenaeus vannamei [PDF]
Communications BiologyGlobal warming has threatened all-rounded hierarchical biosphere by reconstructing eco-structure and bringing biodiversity variations. Pacific white shrimp, a successful model of worldwide utilizing marine ectothermic resources, is facing huge losses due

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Global warming is predicted to increase prolonged thermal challenges for aquatic ectotherms, i.e. it causes metabolic performance declines, impacts food intake, and finally causes impaired growth. In this research work, we investigated whether a tropical

Mitochondria and the thermal limits of ectotherms [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2020 ABSTRACTTemperature is a critical abiotic factor shaping the distribution and abundance of species, but the mechanisms that underpin organismal thermal limits remain poorly understood. One possible mechanism underlying these limits is the failure of mitochondrial processes, as mitochondria play a crucial role in animals as the primary site of ATP ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Accurately predicting the effects of future warming on aquatic ectotherms requires an understanding how thermal history, including average temperature and variation, affects populations of the same species.

Thermogenesis in ectothermic vertebrates [PDF]
Temperature, 2015 Thermogenesis refers to the production of heat by living organisms as a by-product of metabolic activity and is the principal thermoregulatory effector employed by endothermic organisms.

Control of Breathing in Ectothermic Vertebrates
Comprehensive Physiology, 2022 AbstractThe ectothermic vertebrates are a diverse group that includes the Fishes (Agnatha, Chondrichthyes, and Osteichthyes), and the stem Tetrapods (Amphibians and Reptiles). From an evolutionary perspective, it is within this group that we see the origin of air‐breathing and the transition from the use of water to air as a respiratory medium. This is

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Cell size may be important in understanding the thermal biology of ectotherms, as the regulation and consequences of cell size appear to be temperature dependent.

Climate-mediated shifts in temperature fluctuations promote extinction risk [PDF]
Nat. Clim. Chang. 12, 1037-1044 (2022), 2022 Climate-mediated changes in the spatiotemporal distribution of thermal stress can destabilize animal populations and promote extinction risk. Using quantile, spectral, and wavelet analyses of temperature projections from the latest generation of earth system models, we show that significant regional differences are expected to arise in the way that ...
