The specific temperature of the performance curve differs with species. The curve can be determined by chronic or acute changes, it depends on research objectives. Ur(cid:448)i(cid:448)al ti(cid:373)e is li(cid:373)ited if it (cid:272)a(cid:374)"t get its shit together: elevation of body temperature becomes lethal. Low temperatures in an environment can weaken populations by making them less competitive, i. e. vulnerable. Theory of oxygen and capacity limited thermal balance: rising temps create o2 limitations. Exposure of certain tissue to narrow temp ranges may make them specialized at that temperature (through evolutionary change) Tissue function in lizards seems to peak when @ preferred temp, supporting this theory. Entire systems (hearing, digestion, immune) perform optimally @ preferred temperature some traits are not specialized, but thermoregulation and tissue specialization seem to evolve together. Fish in polar environments have a higher resting mr due to changes that allow them to thrive in sub- zero temps.
