In Hot Water: Thermal Acclimation is Insufficient to Save Corals in the Anthropocene
… very symbioses that have enabled coral survival. Thermal stress causes a reduction of algal symbionts, a phenomenon referred to as ‘coral bleaching’ that represents dysbiosis in the holobiont and often leads to mortality. Current thermal acclimation theory states variation and gradual increases in …

Effects Of Thermal Acclimation On The Critical Thermal Maxima Of The Tropical Cockroaches: Blaptica Dubia, Eublaberus Posticus And Blaberus Discoidalis (blaberidae)
<p>The Critical Thermal Maxima (CTMax) is a measure of upper thermal tolerance. The physiological response upon reaching CTMax is similar across taxa, making CTMax useful in comparative studies. The CTMax defines the ecological lethal temperature of an organism and has been used to predict the …

Assessing the Effects of Temperature, Feeding Status, and the Microbiome on the Maximal Activities of Several Enzymes Important to Energy Production and Ammonia Detoxification in the Intestines of Teleost Fish
… renal tissues were not affected by digestion or thermal acclimation. This was reflected in the maximal enzyme activities of Na+, K+-ATPase (NKA), citrate synthase, pyruvate kinase, and glutamine synthetase (GS). Increased NKA activity following a meal suggested an increase in ATP demand, and …

The Behaviour of Daphnia pulex de Geer in a temperature gradient, with special reference to the effect of exposure to D.D.T. upon the selected temperature
… temperature gradient showed no effect of acclimation at 15ºC and 20ºC. Exposure to varying concentrations of the DDT-carrier ethanol resulted in decreases in the selected temperatures to values below that shown by untreated daphnia but concentration-dependence was not shown. A trend to a …

The direct implications of warming on the phenotype and underlying functional traits of marine phytoplankton
… over environmental gradients. I quantified the thermal performance curves (TPCs) of FTs in representative species from two laboratory-cultured phytoplankton functional types to understand trade-offs associated with thermal acclimation and adaptation. To assess whether these laboratory-based …

The systematics, distribution and aspects of the ecology of the freshwater amphipod genus Paramelita (Crangonyctoidea: Paramelitidae)
… seasonal breeding patterns. An investigation of thermal acclimation and tolerances to high temperatures in P. nigroculus individuals showed that their acclimation rates and lethal limits were similar to many other crustaceans. P. nigroculus individuals feed mainly on allochthonous input. An …

The Na/K-ATPase in the gills of Antarctic and New Zealand nototheniids: The Physiologic and Molecular Effects of Warm-acclimation.
… of serum ion concentrations. The effects of thermal acclimation in two Nototheniid species, the stenothermal Antarctic Trematomous bernacchii and the eurythermal New Zealand Notothenia angustata. were investigated by measuring serum osmolality, gill Na/K-ATPase activity, sodium pump density …
