What can physiological capacity and behavioral choice tell us about thermal adaptation?
<p>To date, behavioral responses and their role for thermal adaptation have been largely overlooked in small ectotherms. Here, we measure reproductive output using four adult acclimation temperatures in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> and quantify egg-laying at restricted temperatures (thermal capacity) and across a thermal gradient (thermal preference). We demonstrate that different conclusions about insect responses to changing environmental temperatures can be drawn based on whether individuals were temperature restricted or were allowed a behavioral choice of temperature. When measuring physiological capacity at forced temperatures, we find an acclimation response to increasing temperatures. In contrast, when measuring behavioral choice, we find limited variation in thermal preference regardless of the acclimation temperature. Even though flies are physiologically capable of increased performance at higher temperatures, these benefits may not be realized in heterogeneous environments. Our data serve as an example as to why it is important to understand how behavior and physiology contribute to thermal biology and ultimately the ecology of organisms. To do this, we should consider the behavioral avenues available to the organism when estimating ecologically relevant fitness consequences in varying thermal environments</p>
Data from: Thermal physiology responds to interannual temperature shifts in a montane horned lizard, Phrynosoma orbiculare
<p>As climate change marches on, rapidly rising temperatures shatter records every year, presenting ever‐growing physiological challenges to organisms worldwide. Ectotherms rely on behavioral and physiological plasticity to contend with environmental fluctuations. Nonetheless, our understanding of thermal plasticity has been largely limited to laboratory settings. Here, we test whether aspects of thermal physiology respond to interannual shifts in thermal environment in a natural population of <i>Phrynosoma orbiculare</i>, a montane horned lizard, from Hidalgo, Mexico. At our field site, 2019 was markedly warmer than the year that preceded it. We detected population‐level increases in three key thermal physiological traits: preferred temperature, the critical thermal minimum, and the critical thermal maximum. Thus, thermal phenotypes appear to shift in tandem in response to environmental fluctuations. A subset of individuals were resampled across years, allowing insight into plastic shifts within an organism's lifetime. We detected parallel increases in these lizards for the preferred temperature and the critical thermal minimum, but not for the critical thermal maximum. Our results support a growing body of literature indicating that preferred conditions and cold tolerance can be highly labile over the course of an organism's lifetime, whereas hardening over shorter time periods is more common for heat tolerance. Given that heat tolerance increased at the population‐level, but not in resampled individuals, it is possible that rapid evolution occurred due to temperature increases. In short, physiological shifts can be observed in natural populations over relatively short timespans, and these shifts might reflect a combination of evolutionary and acclimatory responses.</p>

Data from: Adjustable temperature array for characterising ecological and evolutionary effects on thermal physiology
1. To accurately characterise a species' thermal niche and aid in predicting effects of climate change we must not only include information on thermal tolerances and physiological responses to changing temperatures, but also incorporate ecological effects and evolutionary processes that may shape a species' niche. However, quickly and practically collecting data on key factors such as adaptation potential, behaviour, effects of species interactions, plasticity, and thermal tolerances is logistically challenging. 2. We have therefore created an adjustable temperature array (ATA) to assist with experimental ecology and evolution research. ATA's are a row of independent temperature points controlled and set by the user and made from commercially-available parts. This allows the user to create unique thermal landscapes relevant to their study organism(s) and question(s). Further, the option of using an enclosed cage allows the user to answer questions at the individual, population, or community level in the context of changing thermal environments. ATA's are able to be user-set to constant or dynamic temperature regimes and are designed for use on small animals (e.g., fruit flies, beetles, mosquitoes) or plants (e.g., germinating seeds). 3. We have tested and confirmed the accuracy of the ATA to several thermal landscapes that would be useful for experimental ecology and evolution, including: 1) coarse resolution of a broad thermal niche ranging from 12° to 42°C in 2°C intervals (R2= 0.998); 2) fine resolution of a narrow thermal niche ranging from 15° to 32°C in 1°C intervals (R2= 0.997); 3) a pyramid-shaped niche consisting of a gradient from 14° to 30°C in 2°C intervals (R2 = 0.997); and 4) a very narrow thermal niche with replicate thermal resources ranging from 26.5° to 34°C in 1.5°C. intervals (R2= 0.989). 4. The equipment described here is an important tool for thermal niche studies and will aid in gathering information on effects of ecological and evolutionary processes to create a comprehensive picture of species responses to climate change.

Microhabitat temperature variation combines with physiological variation to enhance thermal resilience of the intertidal mussel Mytilisepta virgata
<p>1. Predicting the effects of rising temperature entails measuring both habitat thermal characteristics and the physiological variation of the species as it relates to this microhabitat variation; these two types of measurements can generate what is termed a "physiological landscape" for the species. Mapping the micro-scale physiological landscape across space and time, rather than relying on large-scale averages of temperature and means of thermal limits in a species, can allow more accurate estimates of an organism's sensitivity to temperature change and support development of more refined models of the impacts of anthropogenic climate change that have higher predictive power.</p> <p>2. We thus continually monitored the body (operative) temperature of the intertidal mussel Mytilisepta virgata in both sun-exposed and shaded microhabitats and determined the seasonal variations of cardiac performance of field-acclimatized and laboratory-acclimated mussels from different microhabitats for calculating the thermal sensitivity, as indicated by the difference between the maximum ambient temperature and an individual's upper thermal limit (thermal safety margin, TSM), in each microhabitat and each month.</p> <p>3. The mussels experienced divergent thermal stress, in average temperature, acute and chronic thermal stress, and thermal predictivity among different microhabitats, and presented high spatial-temporal variations of cardiac function as results of seasonal acclimatization and inter-individual variations. Results of TSMs indicated that the thermal sensitivities of the mussels to high temperature were season- and microhabitat-specific, and the mussels in the shaded microhabitats were predicted to survive the hottest summer temperatures; however, some individuals in the sun-exposed microhabitats experienced temperatures above their sublethal temperature.</p> <p>4. With the large, high-resolution dataset of thermal environmental characteristics and the cardiac performances with high variations, we were able to integrate the effects of synchronized changes in microenvironmental temperatures and cardiac thermal responses and thereby characterize the physiological landscape of thermal sensitivity. The complex physiological landscape that exists in the intertidal zone must be taken into account when predicting effects of changes in environmental temperature, such as those occurring with global climate change.</p>
