Ontogenetic consequences of developmental temperature in amphibians: simultaneous gains in heat tolerance and cumulative costs to stress physiology

Ingrid Ribeiro Miguel, Pablo Burraco, Carlotta Hakemann…·Katharina Ruthsatz

This study examines how developmental temperature affects heat tolerance and physiological costs across life stages in Xenopus laevis, finding simultaneous gains in heat tolerance and cumulative physiological costs.
