Abstract

Hotspots - sites with high temperatures - are expected to favor heat-tolerant organisms. Lachs et al. tested this assumption with Palau corals. Surprisingly, heat-tolerant individuals originated in both hotspots and cool refugia, with energy reserves giving a tolerance boost. Protecting ecological networks across environmental gradients can maintain high thermal trait diversity.

耐热珊瑚在海洋热点以外地区生长旺盛。

热点--温度较高的地点--预计有利于耐热生物。Lachs 等人用帕劳珊瑚检验了这一假设。令人惊讶的是，耐热个体既起源于热点地区，也起源于凉爽的避难所，能量储备提高了耐热性。保护跨环境梯度的生态网络可以维持高热性状多样性。

期刊介绍： Trends in Ecology & Evolution (TREE) is a comprehensive journal featuring polished, concise, and readable reviews, opinions, and letters in all areas of ecology and evolutionary science. Catering to researchers, lecturers, teachers, field workers, and students, it serves as a valuable source of information. The journal keeps scientists informed about new developments and ideas across the spectrum of ecology and evolutionary biology, spanning from pure to applied and molecular to global perspectives. In the face of global environmental change, Trends in Ecology & Evolution plays a crucial role in covering all significant issues concerning organisms and their environments, making it a major forum for life scientists.
