Metabolic cold adaptation, or Krogh's rule, is the controversial hypothesis that predicts a monotonically negative relationship between metabolic rate and environmental temperature for ectotherms living along thermal clines measured at common temperature. Macrophysiological patterns consistent with rule are not always evident in nature, experimentally evolved responses to have failed replicate such patterns. Hence, may be sole driver of observed variation rate. We tested temperature, as...
Abstract Temperature and nutrition are amongst the most common environmental challenges faced by organisms will become increasingly so with ongoing climate change. While we have learnt a great deal about how temperature affect life‐history traits on their own, know very little combined effect animal performance. Given that animals in wild likely to experience changes both thermal nutritional conditions, need understand interactions between these conditions shape an animal's response if hope...
Abstract The current policy has the world on track to experience around 3°C of warming by 2100. responses organisms our will be mediated changes in physiological processes, including metabolic rate. Metabolic rate represents energetic cost living, and is fundamental understanding energy required sustain populations. Current evidence indicates that animals have a limited capacity adapt warmer environments reducing their Consequently, may more reliant plasticity ameliorate thermodynamic effect...
Abstract Animals are facing increasing thermal and nutritional stress under climate change. Genetic adaptation is necessary to buffer long-term stress. However, it’s unclear whether combined can occur without compromising viability plasticity. We tested thermotolerance plasticity in larval Drosophila melanogaster selected different temperatures (18°C, 25°C, 28°C) diets (standard, diluted, low protein:carbohydrate). Basal cold tolerance was affected by both protein concentration temperature;...
