Variation in upper thermal tolerance among 19 species from temperate wetlands

Katzenberger, Marco; Duarte, Helder; Relyea, Rick A.; Beltrán Gala, Juan Francisco; Tejedo, Miguel

Abstract

Communities usually possess a multitude of interconnected trophic interactions within food webs. Their regulation generally depends on a balance between bottom-up and top-down effects. However, if sensitivity to temperature varies among species, rising temperatures may change trophic interactions via direct and indirect effects. We examined the critical thermal maximum (CTmax) of 19 species from temperate wetlands (insect predators, amphibian larvae, zooplankton and amphipods) and determined if they vary in their sensitivity to warming temperatures. CTmax differed between the groups, with predatory insects having higher CTmax than amphibians (both herbivorous larval anurans and predatory larval salamanders), amphipods and zooplankton. In a scenario of global warming, these differences in thermal tolerance may affect top-down and bottom-up processes, particularly considering that insect predators are more likely to maintain or improve their performance at higher temperatures, which could lead to increased predation rates on the herbivores in the food web. Further studies are needed to understand how the energy flows through communities, how species’ energy budgets may change and whether other physiological and behavioral responses (such as phenotypic plasticity and thermoregulation) can buffer or increase these changes in the top-down regulation of wetland food webs.

Howe e , de e mining op imum 81 empe a u e is usually me hodologically mo e di icul han de e mining CTmax (e.g., 82 Ka zenbe ge e al. 2014). Since op imum empe a u e and CTmax ha e been es ablished as 83 co-adap i e ai s (Angille a, 2009; Huey e al., 2009), a species wi h high CTmax is expec ed 84 o also ha e a high op imum empe a u e. Hence, de e mining in e speci ic a ia ion in CTmax 85 and wa ming ole ance ( he di e ence be ween CTmax and cu en en i onmen al 86 empe a u es) is a simple way o assess species ulne abili y o he di ec e ec s o clima e 87 change (Deu sch e al., 2008; Tewksbu y e al., 2008). 88 Cu en global wa ming may p omo e changes in species in e ac ions and communi y 89 s uc u e (Dell e al. 2011), pa icula ly when species ha e con as ing he mal niches.

The species include p ima y consume s ( adpoles, 125 zooplank on and amphipods) and seconda y and e ia y consume s (salamande la ae and 126 p eda o y insec s, espec i ely; Fig. 1).
