Abstract:Temperature plays a fundamental role for the fitness of all organisms. In particular, it strongly affects metabolism and reproduction in ectotherms that have limited physiological capabilities to regulate their body temperature. Ectotherms thus have to maintain thermal homeostasis by behavioral adjustments. The influence of temperature variation on the physiology and behavior of ectotherms is well studied but we still know little about the influence of symbiotic interactions on thermal preference (Tp) of the h… Show more
