Effects of Temperature on Ectothermic Organisms

Abstract

There are many examples of long term adjustments to environmental temperature which result in fundamental differences in response to temperature change among organisms acclimated to various temperatures (Scholander, Flagg, Walters, and Irving, 1953; Prosser and Brown, 1961). Some of these adjustments are genetic and have taken place over very long time spans; but within the limits of genetically-determined capacities, individual organisms can reorganize physiological functions in response to exposure to new environmental temperatures. Frequently, there are modifications of rate:temperature relationships of various activities so that when comparisons are made at common intermediate temperatures, cold-acclimated animals tend to perform at higher rates than warm-acclimated animals.
