Configuration of the thermal landscape determines thermoregulatory performance of ectotherms
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Environmental temperatures drive major ecological processes, largely because the physiology of any organism depends on its temperature. For this reason, many animals behave in ways that prevent their body temperatures from fluctuating, even as climate changes dramatically. Using a combination of computer simulations and controlled experiments, we show that thermoregulation depends not only on the mean and variance of operative environmental temperatures but also on the spatial arrangement of these temperatures. Our results have further implications for ecological models that rely on estimates of activity to predict the responses to climatic change.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
