oxygen- and capacity-limited thermal tolerance
- Brain cooling marginally increases acute upper thermal tolerance in Atlantic cod
Summary: Selective cooling of cod brain during whole-animal thermal ramping marginally increases acute upper thermal tolerance, suggesting that direct thermal effects on brain neurons may contribute to the acute upper thermal tolerance.
- Aerobic scope increases throughout an ecologically relevant temperature range in coho salmon
Summary: Coho salmon do not conform to existing predictions about the temperature dependence of aerobic scope in Pacific salmon.
- Oxygen safety margins set thermal limits in an insect model system
Highlighted Article: Larval but not pupal Bombyx mori are oxygen limited, with hypoxia significantly decreasing CTmax, suggesting that oxygen safety margins set thermal limits in air-breathing invertebrates.
