Newcastle University researchers have developed a new tool to predict cold-blooded animals’ responses to environmental change. In the face of rapid and extreme environmental changes, predicting how ...

The newly developed model fuses these laboratory-derived thermal performance curves with observations of species abundance and environmental conditions to predict species geographical distributions ...

The immune-boosting power of a fever is surprisingly ancient. Cold-blooded creatures like fish typically move to warmer environments to help fight infections. In one fish species, Nile tilapia, that ...

A new Murdoch University study has found that cold blooded animals (ectotherms) are unable to adjust physiologically to daily temperature fluctuations, a limitation that could leave them increasingly ...
