Temperature adaptation and effects of thermal acclimation in Rana sylvatica and Rana catesbeiana

May future climate change promote the invasion of the marsh frog? An integrative thermo-physiological study

“…Here we show that their thermal tolerance extends to over 35 °C with an upper thermal limit beyond the maximum water and air temperatures (in shadow) in their natural environment. Similar tolerance ranges were found in the three most invasive amphibians: Rhinella marina (Johnson 1972), Xenopus laevis (Araspin et al 2020) and Lithobates catesbeianus (Lotshaw 1977) (Suppl. Table S1).…”

A rapid intrinsic heart rate resetting response with thermal acclimation in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss

“…Few studies have previously examined the timescale for intrinsic heart rate resetting during temperature acclimation; they have typically waited many days or weeks before measuring heart rate. For example, heart rate resetting was observed after 4-10 days in American bullfrogs and wood frogs (Lotshaw, 1977), after 2 weeks in the common frog (Harri and Talo, 1975), after 3 weeks in perch (Talo and Tirri, 1991), after 4 weeks in rainbow trout (Aho and Vornanen, 2001) and after 2 months in goldfish (Hiroko et al, 1985;Tsukuda, 1990). Only one study (Ekstrom et al, 2016) designed an experiment to examine the time course of thermal acclimation of heart rate; they followed rainbow trout from 1 day to 6 weeks after transfer from 9°C to 16°C.…”

Habitat Selection of Rana pipiens and Rana sylvatica during Exposure to Warm and Cold Temperatures

“…In addition to blood cryoprotectants, the striated muscle function of Rana sylvatica remains intact to below freezing temperatures (Miller and Dehlinger, 1969) and under low temperatures, its cardiac function remains nearly unchanged (Lotshaw, 1977). Rana sylvatica also retains its righting reflex to 0 C (Manis and Claussen, 1986).…”
