Thermal tolerance is proposed to relate directly to the physiological ability of an organism to avoid the transition from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism, with a systemic to molecular hierarchy of limitation (see Pörtner, 2001, 2002).
We have demonstrated the advantage of including advanced systemic features, such as hierarchy and allometry into the framework.
