Scaling of thermal tolerance with body mass and genome size in ectotherms: a comparison between water- and air-breathers

Global warming appears to favour smaller-bodied organisms, but whether larger species are also more vulnerable to thermal extremes, as suggested for past mass-extinction events, is still an open question. Here, we tested whether interspecific differences in thermal tolerance (heat and cold) of ectot...
