Evolution of thermal sensitivity of ectotherm performance
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1989Most ectothermal animals have variable body temperatures. Because physiological rates are temperature sensitive, an ectotherm's behavioural and ecological performance - even its fitness - can be influenced by body temperature. As a result, the thermal sensitivity of ectotherm performance is relevant to diverse issues in physiology, ecology and ...

Hydroregulation in a tropical dry-skinned ectotherm
Oecologia, 2016While temperature effects on species' vulnerability to climate change are well studied, desiccation effects receive comparatively little attention. In addition, we poorly understand the capacity of ectotherms, and especially reptiles, to control water loss rates behaviourally by selecting suitable microhabitats. This study examined water loss rates and

Global climate change is increasing thermal variability in coastal marine environments and the frequency, intensity and duration of marine heatwaves. At the same time, food availability and quality are being altered by anthropogenic environmental changes.

Play behavior in ectothermic vertebrates
Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2023Until a few decades ago, play was considered a behavior unique to birds and mammals. Although play in other vertebrates is still a neglected research subject, data on it has been slowly accumulating, and are reviewed here. Now we know that animals as diverse as stingrays, cichlid fishes, monitor lizards, softshell turtles, and crocodiles can be ...

Foraging strategy mediates ectotherm predator-prey responses to climate warming.
Ecology, 2020Climate warming and species traits interact to influence predator performance, including individual feeding and growth rates. However, the effects of an important trait-predator foraging strategy-are largely unknown.

Caterpillar Setae: Insulation for an Ectotherm
Science, 1981Gypsy moth caterpillars have long, soft setae distributed along the lateral portions of the body, but only short, stiff setae on the dorsal surface. Setae act as selective insulation for caterpillars by reducing the rates of convective heat exchange without affecting the rates of radiative heat exchange.

Natural Freeze Tolerance in Ectothermic Vertebrates
Annual Review of Physiology, 1992Amphibians and reptiles living in seasonally cold regions of the earth face several challenges to their continued survival. These include short summer seasons for the development of eggs and juveniles, long periods of fasting when food supplies are interrupted by winter, and months of cold exposure at environmental temperatures often well below the ...

Temperature regulation in ectotherms
2021This chapter explores temperature regulation in ectotherms. Almost all invertebrates, all amphibians, most fish, and most reptiles are ectotherms. Ectotherms influence their body temperatures by behavioural thermoregulation. The simplest form of behavioural thermoregulation is thermal selection according to the preferred body temperatures of aquatic ...

Thermal variability during ectotherm egg incubation: A synthesis and framework.
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2020Natural populations of ectothermic oviparous vertebrates typically experience thermal variability in their incubation environment. Yet an overwhelming number of laboratory studies incubate animals under constant thermal conditions that cannot capture ...
