Thermal sensitivity of metabolic rate mirrors biogeographic differences between teleosts and elasmobranchs

Abstract Environmental temperature affects physiological functions, representing a barrier for the range expansions of ectothermic species. To understand the link between thermal physiology and biogeography, a key question is whether among-species thermal sensitivity of metabolic rates is mechanisti...
