Modeling Arthropod Traits in a Bayesian Framework
… have been able to model this relationship using thermal performance curves (TPCs), or curves that quantify how an organism's performance changes as a function of temperature. However, most thermal analyses have focused on finding the ``best" TPC equation, often overlooking other key …

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 …

Local Adaptation Signatures in Thermal Performance of the Temperate Coral Astrangia poculata
… (F<sub>v</sub>/F<sub>m</sub>) were measured. Thermal performance curves (TPCs) of respiration revealed differences consistent with local adaptation of the RI and VA populations to their natal thermal environments. RI corals exhibited higher respiration rates overall, and higher respiration at …

Constraints on the adaptive potential of ectotherms to climate change
… climate change is rapidly altering global thermal regimes. While these shifts threaten all biodiversity, ectothermic organisms are particularly at risk because their physiological functions rely heavily on temperature. While rapid evolutionary adaptation has been proposed as a potential …
