EFFECTS OF WINTER AND SUMMER THERMAL VARIABILITY REGIMES ON GROWTH AND METABOLISM IN BROOK TROUT (Salvelinus fontinalis)
… is a cold-water species with a narrow range of thermal tolerance. Climate change projections show that in addition to increases in average temperatures worldwide, daily thermal variability is increasing. Such conditions could prove challenging for brook trout and other ectotherms that are …

Inter-annual variability of acoustic ray travel times in the northeast Pacific
… in order to investigate inter-annual basin-scale thermal variability. These thermal fluctuations may help detect any greenhouse warming and greater understanding of them will increase knowledge of ocean-atmosphere interactions which affect weather and climate. A discussion of the program for …

Genetic connectivity, adaptation, and phenotypic plasticity of corals and anemones under thermal stress
… In this context, I explore three case studies of thermal stress in corals and anemones. I begin with massive Porites lobata corals from the central Pacific. Here, reefs that are most affected by El Niño, such as Jarvis and the northeast Phoenix Islands maintain genetic diversity indicating …

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 …

The role of thermal history in shaping the microbiome of Red Sea corals
… this work aimed to investigate the historical thermal variability along the Red Sea and subsequently identify the relative role of coral microbiome associated with differences in coral thermal tolerance. Remotely sensed data (1982-2012) demonstrated migration of Sea Surface Temperature …

An Investigation of Spatial and Temporal Variability in Several of Montana's Reference Streams: Working Toward a More Holistic Management Strategy
… ability to maintain ecological integrity. Thermal degradation often can be attributed to a variety of human activities, and global climate change, which has been accelerated by the demands of an exponentially expanding human population, will play a central role in defining stream …

Calf intestinal health: assessment and dietary interventions for its improvement
… by fecal scores, and their relationship with thermal variability, blood protein and bodyweight at birth, are described. We also assessed the changes in calf gut health as measured by intestinal paracellular permeability in response to age, failure of passive transfer, and intestinal location. …
