    • Cold tolerance mechanisms of two arthropods from the andean range of Central Chile: agathemera crassa ... 
      Cubillos, Claudio; Cáceres, Juan Carlos; Villablanca, Cristopher; Villarreal, Pablo; Baeza Cancino, Marcelo; Cabrera Paucar, Ricardo; Graether, Steffen P.; Veloso Iriarte, Claudio (Elsevier, 2018-05)
      Two strategies have been described for cold tolerance in arthropods: (1) freeze-tolerant organisms, which can survive the formation of ice crystals and (2) freeze-avoidant organisms, which prevent the ice crystal formation ...
    • Decoupled evolution of foliar freezing resistance, temperature niche and morphological leaf traits in Chilean ... 
      Pérez, Fernanda; Hinojosa Opazo, Luis; Ossa, Carmen G.; Campano, Francisca; Orrego, Fabiola (British Ecological Society, 2014)
      1. Phylogenetic conservatism of tolerance to freezing temperatures has been cited to explain the tendency of plant lineages to grow in similar climates. However, there is little information about whether or not freezing ...
    • Tolerance landscapes in thermal ecology 
      Rezende, Enrico L.; Castañeda, Luis E.; Santos, Mauro (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2014)
      Summary: How thermal tolerance estimated in the laboratory can be extrapolated to natural settings remains a contentious subject. Here, we argue that the general premise that a single temperature can accurately describe ...
