TLDR
Critical thermal maxima, onset of spasms, hot and cold lethals and rate and range of acclimation have been determined for forty-two species of anurans from a wide variety of habitats, latitudes and altitudes along the east coast of Australia.About:

Thermal tolerance and the global redistribution of animals
TL;DR: This article explored the likely consequences of climate change for the geographical redistribution of terrestrial and marine species at a global scale using a comprehensive data set of thermal tolerance limits, latitudinal range boundaries and latitudinal shift of cold-blooded animals.

Towards an Integrated Framework for Assessing the Vulnerability of Species to Climate Change
TL;DR: A novel integrated framework to assess vulnerability and prioritize research and management action aims to improve the ability to respond to this emerging crisis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Upper thermal limits in terrestrial ectotherms: how constrained are they?
TL;DR: Findings point to many terrestrial ectotherms having a limited potential to change their thermal limits particularly within the context of an average predicted temperature increase of 2–4 °C for mid-latitude populations over the next few decades.

Amphibian declines and climate disturbance: the case of the golden toad and the harlequin frog
J. Alan Pounds,Martha L. Crump +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 12-month amphibian moisture-temperature cycle consisting of four periods: (1) late wet season, (2) transition into dry season; (3) dry season, and (4) post-dry season (early-wet-season) recovery was defined.

TL;DR: It is argued here that ramping assays are useful in capturing aspects of ecological relevance even though there is potential for confounding effects of other stresses that can also influence thermal limits in nature.

Critical Thermal Maxima in Salamanders
TL;DR: This method allows a quantitative determination of thermal tolerance by measuring the area of the polygon, the units being in square degrees, and the ultimate upper and lower incipient lethal temperatures can be determined by this method.

A Preliminary Review of the Thermal Requirements of Amphibians
TL;DR: The life history and growth of the Pismo clam (Tivela stultoru;;i Mawe) and the Japanese abalone (Genus Haliotus) are studied.

Thermal acclimation in Anuran amphibians as a function of latitude and altitude
TL;DR: Rate and range of thermal acclimation has been determined for fifty-three species of Anuran amphibians from a wide variety of habitats, latitudes to show how species with restrictive geographic ranges have little or poor ability to adjust physiologically.
