Thermal performance

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Reproductive fitness of Drosophila is maximised by optimal developmental temperature
    Peter Klepsatel, Thirnahalli Nagaraj Girish, Heinrich Dircksen, Martina Gáliková
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb202184 doi: 10.1242/jeb.202184 Published 20 May 2019

    Summary: Developmental acclimation does not necessarily enhance reproductive fitness in Drosophila melanogaster; instead, the highest fitness is achieved by development at an optimal temperature.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Phenotypic plasticity in locomotor performance of a monophyletic group of weevils accords with the ‘warmer is better’ hypothesis
    Anne M. Treasure, Steven L. Chown
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb195255 doi: 10.1242/jeb.195255 Published 7 May 2019

    Summary: Among nine weevil populations representing five species from the sub-Antarctic, acclimation responses of locomotion thermal performance curves typically accord with the warmer is better (or thermodynamic effects) hypothesis.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Thermosensory perception regulates speed of movement in response to temperature changes in Drosophila melanogaster
    Andrea Soto-Padilla, Rick Ruijsink, Ody C. M. Sibon, Hedderik van Rijn, Jean-Christophe Billeter
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb174151 doi: 10.1242/jeb.174151 Published 22 May 2018

    Highlighted Article: Although flies modulate speed in response to temperature following the same dynamic as metabolic reactions, this response is controlled by the nervous system and not by a direct thermal influence on metabolism.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Thermal acclimation and subspecies-specific effects on heart and brain mitochondrial performance in a eurythermal teleost (Fundulus heteroclitus)
    Dillon James Chung, Heather J. Bryant, Patricia M. Schulte
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 1459-1471; doi: 10.1242/jeb.151217

    Summary: Heart and brain mitochondrial performance declines following acclimation to thermal extremes in killifish, which suggests that organismal performance at thermal extremes is, at least in part, constrained by mitochondrial performance.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Phenophysiological variation of a bee that regulates hive humidity, but not hive temperature
    Sasha Ayton, Sean Tomlinson, Ryan D. Phillips, Kingsley W. Dixon, Philip C. Withers
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 1552-1562; doi: 10.1242/jeb.137588

    Summary: Conservation of water may be of greater physiological importance than thermal tolerance to the tropical bee Austroplebeia essingtoni, which regulates humidity of the hive towards a microclimatic optimum.
