" ... Tropical ecosystems are thought to be the hardest impacted, as many species are adapted to narrow temperature ranges and most are ectotherms, with water temperatures regulating their biological and physiological processes that are crucial for survival. “Thermal performance curves allow scientists to identify the temperatures where a certain trait (e.g., growth, development, reproduction) starts to be negatively impacted. At some low temperature and at some high temperature, for any species, certain biological functions become non-ideal and eventually start failing,” said scientist Carolyn R. Wheeler, co-tutelle Ph.D. student between the School for the Environment at the University of Massachusetts Boston and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University. “Identifying these critical temperatures allows us to predict how these species will fair with warming waters from climate change over the next century.” ...
