Thermal performance curves, phenotypic plasticity, and the time scales of temperature exposure

PM Schulte, TM Healy… - … and comparative biology, 2011 - academic.oup.com
Thermal performance curves (TPCs) describe the effects of temperature on biological rate
processes. Here, we use examples from our work on common killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) …

The effects of temperature on aerobic metabolism: towards a mechanistic understanding of the responses of ectotherms to a changing environment

PM Schulte - The Journal of experimental biology, 2015 - journals.biologists.com
Because of its profound effects on the rates of biological processes such as aerobic
metabolism, environmental temperature plays an important role in shaping the distribution and …

Linking genotypes to phenotypes and fitness: how mechanistic biology can inform molecular ecology

AC Dalziel, SM Rogers, PM Schulte - Molecular ecology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
