| limited capacity for acclimation of thermal physiology in a salamander, desmognathus brimleyorum. | habitats vary in temperature both spatially and temporally. variation in thermal habitat introduces challenges to organisms and may reduce fitness unless organisms can physiologically adjust to such changes. theory predicts that thermal variability should influence the capacity for acclimation such that increased variation should favor a reduction in the thermal sensitivity of physiological traits. in this study, we investigated acclimation to constant and variable conditions in populations of t ... | 2013 | 23132671 |
