The toughest animals of the Earth versus global warming: Effects of long-term experimental warming on tardigrade community structure of a temperate deciduous forest

Vecchi, M., Kossi Adakpo, L., Dunn, R. R., Nichols, L. M., Penick, C. A., Sanders, N. J., … Guidetti, R. (2021, June 29). ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, Vol. 6.

By: M. Vecchi *, L. Kossi Adakpo*, R. Dunn n , L. Nichols n , C. Penick*, N. Sanders *, L. Rebecchi *, R. Guidetti *

author keywords: climate change; experimental; global warming; Tardigrades; water bears
TL;DR: Results are in line with previous experimental studies, indicating that tardigrades may not be directly affected by ongoing global warming, possibly due to their thermotolerance and cryptobiotic abilities to avoid negative effects of stressful temperatures, and the buffering effect on temperature of the soil litter substrate.

Beyond thermal limits: comprehensive metrics of performance identify key axes of thermal adaptation in ants

FUNCTIONAL ECOLOGY, 31(5), 1091–1100.

By: C. Penick n, S. Diamond *, N. Sanders * & R. Dunn n 

Contributors: C. Penick n, S. Diamond *, N. Sanders * & R. Dunn n 

author keywords: climate change; critical thermal limits; development; phenology; social insects; thermal adaptation
TL;DR: The relationships between CTmax, thermal requirements of brood, and seasonal activity suggest two main strategies for growth and development in changing thermal environments: one where ants forage at higher temperatures over a short activity season, and another where antsForage at lower temperatures for an extended activity season.

TL;DR: Overall, mixed support is found for the importance of negative species interactions (competition), but it is found that the magnitude of these interaction effects was predictable based on the heat tolerance of the focal species. (via Semantic Scholar)

MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / physiology; Forests; Global Warming; North America
TL;DR: It is shown that the AMOC collapses 300 years after the atmospheric CO2 concentration is abruptly doubled from the 1990 level, highlighting the need to develop dynamical metrics to constrain models and the importance of reducing model biases in long-term climate projection.

Contributors: J. Karlik n, M. Epps*, R. Dunn n  & C. Penick n

author keywords: nest architecture; thermoregulation; microbes; pathogens; ants; Temnothorax
TL;DR: The relatively strong response of T. curvispinosus to microbial growth inside their nests suggests that pathogen pressures—in addition to microclimate—have a significant impact on how colonies use nest spaces. (via Semantic Scholar)

TL;DR: It is suggested that while physiological tolerance of temperature can be a useful predictive tool for modeling responses to climatic change, future efforts should be devoted to understanding the causes and consequences of variability in models of tolerance calibrated with different metrics of performance and fitness.
