..., focusing on temperature tolerance and ionoregulatory strategies for dealing with acidic and ion-poor environments. We also discuss the influences of DOC and particles on gill function, the effects of high dissolved CO 2 and low dissolved O 2 , with emphasis on water- versus air-breathing mechanisms...

.... Critical thermal maximum CT max Metabolism Scope for activity Temperature tolerance Global warming is accelerating at an alarming rate, causing progressive elevations of seasonal temperatures and also wider thermal variation, with increased frequency of extreme heatwaves ( Frölicher et al...

... and the changes during acclimation can be species-specific. A major difference observed between char and salmon was the higher CT max and lower hypoxia tolerance of salmon. The observed difference in temperature tolerance between char and salmon is supported by other studies (e.g. Baroudy and Elliott, 1994...

.... We monitored foraging activity and identified the ants' temperature tolerance in the laboratory by determining (1) critical thermal minima and maxima (CT min and CT max ) and (2) the relationship between walking speed and temperature. Ants of Myrmecia croslandi were diurnal throughout the year...
