Spatial scale influences relationships between indices of organisms’ thermal tolerance
Many thermal vulnerability indices potentially describe organismal responses to climate. However, the inter-relationships among indices and the effects of body size and spatial scale are mostly unknown. Existing literature on relationships between indices remains unclear, e.g. different hypotheses predict no, positive or negative relationship between critical thermal minimum and maximum (CTmin and CTmax). We used phylogenetic corrected analysis to determine relationships between CTmin, CTmax, thermal breadth (=CTmax-CTmin), warming tolerance (=CTmax-annual mean habitat temperature), warming capacity (=CTmax-annual maximum habitat temperature) and organism size in 121 species of freshwater insects (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera) from temperate and tropical streams distributed along elevation gradients in eastern Australia. When data were collated across all sites (i.e. both elevation gradients), CTmin and CTmax were positively related, indicating a trade-off between tolerating high and low temperatures at this multi-region spatial scale. However, within each gradient, these indices were uncorrelated, indicating that tolerance to high temperatures had no effect on tolerance to low temperatures and vice versa at this within-region scale. All pairs of variables, except CTmax and body size, were related (either positively or negatively) in one or more of the three datasets. Inconsistent relationships across sites in both the temperate and the tropical gradients occurred in 43 % of variable pairs. Hypotheses about the direction of relationships between pairs of variables were supported consistently in 50 % of the contrasts. While the variables examined are mostly related to each other, spatial scale is important in determining the nature of that relationship.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Thermal Biology publishes articles that advance our knowledge on the ways and mechanisms through which temperature affects man and animals. This includes studies of their responses to these effects and on the ecological consequences. Directly relevant to this theme are:
• The mechanisms of thermal limitation, heat and cold injury, and the resistance of organisms to extremes of temperature
• The mechanisms involved in acclimation, acclimatization and evolutionary adaptation to temperature
• Mechanisms underlying the patterns of hibernation, torpor, dormancy, aestivation and diapause
• Effects of temperature on reproduction and development, growth, ageing and life-span
• Studies on modelling heat transfer between organisms and their environment
• The contributions of temperature to effects of climate change on animal species and man
• Studies of conservation biology and physiology related to temperature
• Behavioural and physiological regulation of body temperature including its pathophysiology and fever
• Medical applications of hypo- and hyperthermia
Article types:
• Original articles
• Review articles
