We used a comparative and manipulative approach to test three related hypotheses about the determinants of heat tolerance or critical thermal maximum (CTmax) in urban ants—specifically, that (a) body size, (b) hydration status, and (c) chosen microenvironments influence CTmax. We f...
This review covers some known results on tolerance limits for univariate distributions. Results for parametric continuous and discrete distributions as well as those based on nonparametric methods are included. Some general results, including those for certain restricted families of distributions are also ...
An equation that does not require tables is given to determine a one-sided tolerance limit for the 100 Pth percentile of a normal distribution with confidence 1-gamma for any sample size n. This equation gives accuracy to approximately three or more significant digits when compared to tabled va...
The relationships that control seed production in trees are fundamental to understanding the evolution of forest species and their capacity to recover from increasing losses to drought, fire, and harvest. A synthesis of fecundity data from 714 species wo
Understanding how species’ thermal limits have evolved across the tree of life is central to predicting species’ responses to climate change. Here, using experimentally-derived estimates of thermal tolerance limits for over 2000 terrestrial and aquatic species, we show that most of the variation in...
of genetic variation in female fitness. Recent experimental evolution studies on fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) have demonstrated significant heritable variation among female genotypes in the fitness costs of resistance or tolerance to male mating harassment. In addition, female-female competition ...
(Negin and Moshelion2017). A number of phenotypic parameters are available that are related to the plant’s tolerance against several stress conditions, are robust and reliable, show a higher heritability than yield or yield stability, and can be used to measure plants characteristics towards ...
1b,c). These scenarios can be thought of as representing a species with a clearly defined thermal tolerance (which imposes range limits), whose phenotypic plasticity compensates completely (scenario 1) or partially (scenario 2) for the temperature gradient within this tolerance. We then consider ...
