Model organisms can be useful for studying climate change impacts, but it is unclear whether domestication to laboratory conditions has altered their thermal tolerance and therefore how representative of wild populations ...

Critical thermal maximum (CTmax) is a commonly and increasingly used measure of an animal’s upper thermal tolerance limit. However, it is unknown how consistent CTmax is within an individual, and how physiologically taxing ...

Bakgrunn: De siste to tiårene har det blitt utviklet flere risikomodeller for kardiovaskulær sykdom (CVD). I Norge, er risikomodellen NORRISK 2 anbefalt, men denne modellen er dårlig på prediksjon i eldre voksne. I tidligere ...

As an effect of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, the chemistry of the world’s oceans is changing. Understanding how this will affect marine organisms and ecosystems are critical in predicting the impacts of this ongoing ocean ...

Ocean acidification—the decrease in seawater pH due to rising CO2 concentrations—has been shown to lower survival in early life stages of fish and, as a consequence, the recruitment of populations including commercially ...

The capacity of organisms to acclimate will influence their ability to cope with ongoing global changes in thermal regimes. Here we highlight methodological issues associated with recent attempts to quantify variation in ...

The deterioration of coastal habitats cascades to the decline of associated fauna by reducing trophic resource availability, shelter from predators and nursery grounds. The decline of biogenic habitat structure, such as ...

Global temperatures are rising and heat waves are becoming more frequent, reaching higher temperatures, and lasting longer. Many animals are living close to their limits for warming tolerance and mass mortality events are ...

Kristisk temperatur maksimum (KTmax), definert som temperaturen hvor bevegelse blir uorganisert og yteevnen går tapt, er ofte brukt til å estimere dyrearters øvre temperatur toleranse. På grunn av de pågående klima ...
