Plasticity of Performance Curves in Ectotherms: Individual Variation Modulates Population Responses to Environmental Change
Many ectothermic animals can respond to changes in their environment by altering the sensitivities of physiological rates, given sufficient time to do so. In other words, thermal acclimation and developmental plasticity can shift thermal performance curves so that performance may be completely or pa...
