Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The key assumptions underlying the integration of TPCs with Tb are examined to develop a framework within which empiricists can place their work within these limitations, and to facilitate the application of thermal physiology to understanding the biological implications of climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of diel temperature fluctuations on growth, oxygen consumption and proximate body composition in the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus Selenka
TL;DR: Growth of juveniles varied at different constant temperatures and diel fluctuating temperatures as well as proximate body composition and oxygen consumption of juvenile sea cucumbers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural flexibility and protein adaptation to temperature: Molecular dynamics analysis of malate dehydrogenases of marine molluscs
TL;DR: Analysis of structural and functional properties of cytosolic malate dehydrogenase orthologs of five genera of marine molluscs adapted to an ∼60 °C range of temperatures reveals the role of protein flexibility in adaptation to temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat-Shock Protein 70 (Hsp70) Expression in Four Limpets of the Genus Lottia: Interspecific Variation in Constitutive and Inducible Synthesis Correlates With in situ Exposure to Heat Stress
TL;DR: The findings suggest that high-intertidal congeners of Lottia employ a “preparative defense” strategy involving maintenance of high constitutive levels of Hsp70 in their cells as a mechanism for protection against periods of extreme and unpredictable heat stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal adaptation in the intertidal snail Echinolittorina malaccana contradicts current theory by revealing the crucial roles of resting metabolism
TL;DR: A hypothetical framework for thermal performance of locomotor activity and resting metabolism in energetically compromised snails in the littoral fringe zone points to the need to incorporate aspects of resting metabolism and energy conservation into theories of thermal adaptation.
