Sentence examples for upper thermal limit from inspiring English sources

The consistency of these results across larval penaeid prawns may indicate there is an upper thermal limit to their biochemical processes.

Given that the amplitude in the thermal tolerance polygon was mainly due to an increase in the lower limits of the interval and that no minimum temperature threshold could be determined, thus suggesting that the populations from YP are near their upper thermal limit.

Warming of tropical seas has already pushed many coral species close to their upper thermal limit [6].

Similar to the 26±5°C treatment, embryos under 31±5°C cycled between 26°C (male-producing) and 36°C, a value above the upper thermal limit which retards growth (Fig. 3), such that development occurred mostly under the male-producing temperatures despite the female-producing mean.

Above the upper thermal limit (C ), the embryo elongates (i.e., a/b increased).

Interestingly, however, we observed that embryos in both species were more elongated beyond the upper thermal limit.

The major objective of this study is to understand the upper thermal limits and potential impact of temperature elevation on copepods caused by coastal power plants.

Rate of development typically increases with increasing water temperature, up to species-specific upper thermal limits [4].

The response of T. gratilla larvae to increased temperature reflected the typical pattern seen in echinoids and other invertebrates with a balance between facilitation at certain levels of warming and failure at upper thermal limits [32], [37] [41].

While some tropical species appear to live close to their upper thermal limits [23], [24], the capacity to acclimate may increase species flexibility to succeed in warmer temperatures [20].

The dynamic determination of the CTmax, by contrast, uncovers the short-term upper thermal limits.
