Thermal flexibility is a repeatable mechanism to cope with environmental stressors in a passerine bird

This study investigates whether urban and rural black-capped chickadees differ in stress-induced thermal responses and their repeatability, finding no difference but high repeatability and signs of selection.

Limited transgenerational effects of environmental temperatures on thermal performance of a cold-adapted salmonid

This study examines transgenerational plasticity in lake trout, finding that offspring performance reflects parental environmental conditions but can be detrimental when environments mismatch.

A temperate endotherm trades thermoregulation for self-preservation: stress-induced changes in surface temperature as thermoregulatory trade-offs

This study shows that stress-induced changes in surface temperature in Black-capped Chickadees reflect a trade-off between thermoregulation and self-preservation under resource limitation.

Evidence that stress-induced changes in surface temperature serve a thermoregulatory function

The paper tests two hypotheses about stress-induced surface temperature changes in birds, finding support for the Thermoprotective Hypothesis.
