Tolerance range of animal
Marine
ectotherms more fully occupy the extent of latitudes tolerable within
their thermal tolerance limits, and are consequently predicted to expand
at their poleward range boundaries and contract at their equatorward
boundaries with climate warming. In contrast, terrestrial ectotherms are
excluded from the warmest regions of their latitudinal range; thus, the
equatorward, or ‘trailing’ range boundaries, may not shift consistently
towards the poles with climate warming. Using global observations of
climate-induced range shifts, we test this prediction and show that in
the ocean, shifts at both range boundaries have been equally responsive,
whereas on land, equatorward range boundaries have lagged in response
to climate warming. These results indicate that marine species’ ranges
conform more closely to their limits of thermal tolerance, and thus
range shifts will be more predictable and coherent. However, on land,
warmer range boundaries are not at equilibrium with heat tolerance.
Understanding the relative contribution of factors other than
temperature in controlling equatorward range limits is critical for
predicting distribution changes, with implications for population and
community viability.
Thank you. Now, i more than know about this. This blog it's good. But, i want to ask you, because i don't understand.
BalasHapusWhat if animal passes range of animal?
Sanga membantu.
BalasHapusmungkin untuk grafiknya bisa dideskripsikan agar dalam memahami lebih mudah
Udah bagus ditambah lagi ya penjelasannya
BalasHapusnice post, and i like this blog too.
BalasHapusGood job rida, mungkin akan lebih baik lagi jika dikerangkakan konsepnya ke poin poin. Tingkatkan lagi yaa
BalasHapusDisertai referensi akan lebih baik lagi..
good job rid. kenapa tidak langsung dibandingkan dengan yang endoterm?
