The critical thermal maximum: history and critique

Abstract: We reviewed 725 papers published since Cowles and Bogert's paper on thermal tolerance (R.B. Cowles and C.M. Bogert. 1944. Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist. 83: 261–296) to create a data base of studies that used critical thermal maximum or lethal-temperature methods. We found data from 388 of these papers to provide a historical and taxonomic review of various methodologies used in measuring tolerance of high temperature. We conducted this literature review of previous studies to (i) describe the history of the study … Show more

“…This would be of great value for inter-specific comparisons. Becker and Genoway (1979) recommended 0.3°C min À 1 , Lutterschmidt and Hutchison (1997) recommended 1°C min À 1 and, more recently, Mora and Maya (2006) suggested 1°C h À 1 .…”

“…It has also been applied in macrophysiological comparative studies in ectotherms (e.g. Lee and Boulding, 2010;Cowles and Bogert, 1944;Lutterschmidt and Hutchison, 1997) and in the exploration of upper thermal tolerances across different taxa (Somero, 2005(Somero, , 2010Deutsch et al, 2008).…”

“…Therefore, the value of CTMax depends on the experimental protocol (rate of temperature increment and acclimation temperature). The heating rate of 1°C min -1 was chosen according to Lutterschmidt and Hutchison (1997b), because with a faster protocol (>1°C min -1 ), lag-periods between changes in body and water temperature may interfere. On the other hand, a slower protocol (<1°C min -1 ) might result in the interference of acclimation effects (for instance, changes in protein synthesis).…”
