Phylogeny of respiratory adaptations and local temperature extremes shape the thermal vulnerability of intertidal crabs

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is expected to significantly impact coastal populations worldwide. The macrophysiological factors that determine the upper thermal limits (UTL) of intertidal ectotherms, however, remain poorly understood.

Hydraulic-driven adaptable morphing active-cooling elastomer with bioinspired bicontinuous phases

Nature Communications
The active-cooling elastomer concept, originating from vascular thermoregulation for soft biological tissue, is expected to develop an effective heat dissipation method for human skin, flexible electronics, and soft robots due to the desired interface ...

Thermosensitivity of the lobster, Homarus americanus, as determined by cardiac assay [PDF]

, 2000
It is generally accepted that crustaceans detect, and respond to, changes in water temperature, yet few studies have directly addressed their thermosensitivity.

Thermal performance curves, activity and survival in a free‐ranging ectotherm

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show higher field‐measured locomotor performance increases mortality risk in free‐ranging lizards, challenging assumptions from laboratory‐based thermal performance studies. Our approach combines in situ physiology with survival data, offering new insights into behavioural trade‐offs and fitness under natural conditions.

Bottom‐up and top‐down effects combine to drive predator–prey interactions in a forest biodiversity experiment

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study constructed a real spider–prey interaction network using metabarcoding, integrating multitrophic levels (Plant–Prey–Spider) and multiple diversity indices (taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity) to analyse how bottom‐up effects from tree communities and top‐down effects from spider communities influence spider–prey interactions in

Development of mathematical models of environmental physiology [PDF]

Selected articles concerned with mathematical or simulation models of human thermoregulation are presented. The articles presented include: (1) development and use of simulation models in medicine, (2) model of cardio-vascular adjustments during exercise,

Enhanced thermoregulation abilities of shortfin mako sharks as the key adaptive significance of regional endothermy in fishes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that regionally endothermic shortfin mako sharks have enhanced thermoregulatory ability with an order higher warming rate than cooling rate during repeated dives, likely optimizing foraging efficiency. This ability, only comparable to bigeye tuna and swordfish in teleosts, represents the key adaptive significance of regional endothermy in ...
