Upper thermal limits of Drosophila are linked to species distributions and strongly constrained phylogenetically.
Upper thermal limits vary less than lower limits among related species of terrestrial ectotherms. This pattern may reflect weak or uniform selection on upper limits, or alternatively tight evolutionary constraints. We investigated this issue in 94 Drosophila species from diverse climates and reared in a common environment to control for plastic effects that may confound species comparisons. We ...
متن کاملCritical thermal limits depend on methodological context.
A full-factorial study of the effects of rates of temperature change and start temperatures was undertaken for both upper and lower critical thermal limits (CTLs) using the tsetse fly, Glossina pallidipes. Results show that rates of temperature change and start temperatures have highly significant effects on CTLs, although the duration of the experiment also has a major effect. Contrary to a wi...
متن کاملLand - Use and Land - Cover Trends in the Upper Midwest
Land use can be defined as the values that humans obtain from landscapes. What is it that people are actually doing on the landscape? Though remote sensing is often used for mapping land use and land cover over large areas, to actually map land use usually requires some careful human interpretation of the imagery or, better, surveying or interviewing people on the ground to identify their use o...
متن کاملCritical thermal limits in Mediterranean ant species: trade-off between mortality risk and foraging performance
Temporal differences in foraging rhythms, at both daily and seasonal levels, are common among sympatric ant species (Lynch, Balinsky & Vail 1980; Lynch 1981; Herbers 1985, 1989; Lynch, Johnson & Balinsky 1988; Marsh 1988; Fellers 1989; Samways 1990). Although the temporal partition of interspecific foraging shifts is considered to be one of the consequences of interspecific competition, tempora...
