Beyond thermal limits: comprehensive metrics of performance identify key axes of thermal adaptation in ants

Journal Article Penick, Clint A. ; Diamond, Sarah E. ; Sanders, Nathan J. ; ... - Functional Ecology

Summary How species respond to temperature change depends in large part on their physiology. Physiological traits, such as critical thermal limits ( CT _max and CT _min ), provide estimates of thermal performance but may not capture the full impacts of temperature on fitness. Rather, thermal performance likely depends on a combination of traits—including thermal limits—that vary among species. Here, we examine how thermal limits correlate with the main components that influence fitness in ants. First, we compare how temperature affected colony survival and growth in two ant species that differ in their responses to warming in the field— Aphaenogastermore »« less

Abundance of spring‐ and winter‐active arthropods declines with warming

Journal Article Fitzgerald, Jacquelyn L. ; Stuble, Katharine L. ; Nichols, Lauren M. ; ... - Ecosphere

Abstract Because ectotherm activity and metabolism are sensitive to temperature, terrestrial arthropods may be especially responsive to ongoing climatic warming. Here, we quantified responses of arthropod abundance to two years of warming in an outdoor temperature manipulation experiment at Duke Forest, North Carolina, USA. Nine open‐top chambers were individually heated year‐round from 1.5° to 5.5°C above ambient temperature. From two years of monthly pitfall trapping, we collected and identified 4,468 arthropods representing 24 orders. We initially predicted that arthropods would experience the greatest negative effects of experimental warming during the summer months, when temperatures reach their yearly maximum and arthropodsmore »« less

The toughest animals of the Earth versus global warming: Effects of long‐term experimental warming on tardigrade community structure of a temperate deciduous forest

Journal Article Vecchi, Matteo ; Kossi Adakpo, Laurent ; Dunn, Robert R. ; ... - Ecology and Evolution

Abstract Understanding how different taxa respond to global warming is essential for predicting future changes and elaborating strategies to buffer them. Tardigrades are well known for their ability to survive environmental stressors, such as drying and freezing, by undergoing cryptobiosis and rapidly recovering their metabolic function after stressors cease. Determining the extent to which animals that undergo cryptobiosis are affected by environmental warming will help to understand the real magnitude climate change will have on these organisms. Here, we report on the responses of tardigrades within a five‐year‐long, field‐based artificial warming experiment, which consisted of 12 open‐top chambers heated tomore »« less

Using Historical and Experimental Data to Reveal Warming Effects on Ant Assemblages

Journal Article Resasco, Julian ; Pelini, Shannon L. ; Stuble, Katharine L. ; ... - PLoS ONE

Historical records of species are compared with current records to elucidate effects of recent climate change. However, confounding variables such as succession, land-use change, and species invasions make it difficult to demonstrate a causal link between changes in biota and changes in climate. Experiments that manipulate temperature can overcome this issue of attribution, but long-term impacts of warming are difficult to test directly. Here we combine historical and experimental data to explore effects of warming on ant assemblages in southeastern US. Observational data span a 35-year period (1976–2011), during which mean annual temperatures had an increasing trend. Mean summer temperaturesmore »« less
