Aerobic metabolism and temperature : intraspecific variation and thermal acclimation in Atlantic killifish

Environmental temperatures impact the performance of ectothermic organisms, such that changes in performance with temperature often influence range limits. Aerobic scope (the difference between maximum and standard aerobic metabolic rates) has been proposed as a physiological mechanism that may unde...
