Thermal plasticity of skeletal muscle phenotype in ectothermic vertebrates and its significance for locomotory behaviour.

The Journal of experimental biology - 1 Aug 2002

Johnston Ian A, Temple Genevieve K

Abstract excerpt

Seasonal cooling can modify the thermal preferenda of ectothermic vertebrates and elicit a variety of physiological responses ranging from winter dormancy to an acclimation response that partially compensates for the effects of low temperature on activity. Partial compensation of activity levels is particularly common in aquatic species for which seasonal temperature changes provide a stable cue for initiating...
