Abstract:Thermal adaptation of organisms is a property emerging from the complex
interplay of biophysical constraints and selective forces. The shape of
thermal performance curves has been well investigated but we lack
knowledge of how they may evolve. Two extreme cases can be expected: i)
under the hypothesis of local adaptation, species should shift their
thermal performance curves and have an optimum at the temperature at
which they evolve, or ii) under the hypothesis of thermodynamical
constraints, universal biophy… Show more
