- Impact of heating rate on cardiac thermal tolerance in the California mussel, Mytilus californianus
Highlighted Article: The rate that mussel body temperatures increase during emersion affects cardiac thermal tolerance; heating rates experienced based on animals' intertidal height must be considered when evaluating ecological consequences of climate change.
- Critical thermal limits of bumblebees (Bombus impatiens) are marked by stereotypical behaviors and are unchanged by acclimation, age or feeding status
Summary: Stereotypical behaviors at extreme temperatures correspond to loss of muscular function, and yield repeatable estimates of CTmin and CTmax for bumble bees.
