Temperature and predation alter metabolic scaling without changing the size-based community structure of freshwater macroinvertebrates [0.03%]
温度和捕食改变代谢尺度而不会改变淡水底栖宏无脊椎动物的大小基础群落结构

Body size is a key trait that influences ecological processes such as metabolism, abundance and species interactions. While the metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) proposes a universal scaling of metabolic rate with body mass, recent evidence...
'Variation ... a central attribute of living systems': patterns and implications of variability in the development of molluscan heart function [0.03%]
《变异……生命系统的中心属性》:软体动物心脏功能发育的变异模式及其意义
Oliver Tills,Ziad Ibbini,Simon Rundle et al.
Oliver Tills et al.
Diversity in the ontogeny of physiological systems is a central, too often overlooked tenet of biodiversity. Here, we use intensive screening of the development of heart function in embryos of the gastropod Radix balthica to investigate (i)...
Thermal variability: how realistic temperature fluctuations alter physiological performance in intertidal mussels [0.03%]
温度波动性:间冰潮贻贝的现实温度波动如何改变其生理表现

Michael T Nishizaki et al.
Understanding how fluctuating temperatures impact ectothermic physiological performance is critical for predicting species' responses to climate change. Many laboratory studies use simplified thermal designs that typically alternate between...
Harnessing variability in temperament to improve outcomes in experimental biology [0.03%]
利用气质的变异性来改善实验生物学的结果
Feifan Wu,Samson Ting,Luoyang Ding et al.
Feifan Wu et al.
Animal personality, also sometimes called temperament, has been investigated in domesticated and non-domesticated species, mammal and non-mammal animals, from foxes and marsupials to horses and sheep. Standardized behavioural tests can be u...
Thermal variability during development facilitates enduring physiological tolerance [0.03%]
发育期间的热变化有利于持久的生理耐受性

Many organisms in aquatic ecosystems experience physiological stress owing to hypoxic events, warm temperatures and high thermal variability. Within-lifetime phenotypic plasticity might act to buffer, or exacerbate, the negative impacts of ...
Daily maximum temperatures affect recovery of Brook char (Salvelinus fontinalis) metabolic rate from an acute thermal challenge [0.03%]
每日最高温度影响 Brook 棘鱼(Salvelinus fontinalis)代谢率从急性热刺激中恢复的能力

The intensity and frequency of warm events are projected to increase with climate warming, imposing significant challenges for ectothermic species. Daily maximum temperature, or Tmax, in salmonid habitats is exceeding the purported upper te...

Conventional ecological and conservation approaches often rely on average-based strategies, which obscure the complexity of biological systems. This article revisits the concept of the 'Tyranny of the Golden Mean' to argue that variability ...
Within-individual variation in glucocorticoid and metabolic rate plasticity: a mechanism of phenotypic fine-tuning to complex environmental challenges [0.03%]
糖皮质激素和代谢率的个体内可塑性变异:应对复杂环境挑战表型精调的机制

Complex environmental variation underlying phenomena like climate change can be represented as a continuum between gradual, predictable (i.e. global warming) and sudden, unpredictable components (i.e. extreme weather events). Reversible phe...
A decision matrix to better identify repeatable physiological variation within individuals [0.03%]
一种决策矩阵更好的识别个体内的可重复的生理波动

Yangfan Zhang et al.
The performance of an individual has remained at the heart of evolutionary biology since the time of Darwin. Physiologists are equally drawn to the implications of individual variation for health and sporting endeavours, and specifically, w...
