Systematic approaches to assessing high-temperature limits to fertility in animals.
In Journal of Evolutionary Biology
Another publication from members of the European Thermal Fertility Network. Well done!
The paper proposes standardized protocols to measure the effects of temperature on animal fertility in an effort to make results more comparable between studies and study species. While the main paper is written with small terrestrical ectotherms in mind, don’t forget to check out the appendix for other animal groups.
