title: Phylogenetic tree used in the phylogenetic analyses from Testing the metabolic homeostasis hypothesis in amphibians

description: A number of hypotheses about compensatory mechanisms that allow ectothermic animals to cope with the latitudinal decrease in ambient temperature (<i>T</i><sub>A</sub>) have been proposed during the last century. One of these hypotheses, the ‘metabolic homeostasis’ hypothesis (MHH), states that species should show the highest thermal sensitivity of the metabolic rate (<i>Q</i><sub>10-SMR</sub>) at the colder end of the range of <i>T</i><sub>A</sub>s they usually experience in nature. This way, species should be able to minimize maintenance costs during the colder hours of the day, but quickly take advantage of increases in <i>T</i><sub>A</sub> during the warmer parts of the day. Here, we created a dataset that includes <i>Q</i><sub>10-SMR</sub> values for 58 amphibian species, assessed at four thermal ranges, to evaluated three predictions derived from the MHH. In line with this hypothesis, we found that: (i) <i>Q</i><sub>10-SMR</sub> values tended to be positively correlated with latitude when measured at lower <i>T</i><sub>A</sub>s, but negative correlated with latitude when measured at higher <i>T</i><sub>A</sub>s, (ii) <i>Q</i><sub>10-SMR</sub> measured at lower <i>T</i><sub>A</sub>s were higher in temperate species, whereas <i>Q</i><sub>10-SMR</sub> measured at higher <i>T</i><sub>A</sub>s were higher in tropical species, and (iii) the experimental <i>T</i><sub>A</sub> at which <i>Q</i><sub>10-SMR</sub> was maximal for each species decreased with latitude. This is the first study showing that the relationship between <i>Q</i><sub>10-SMR</sub> and latitude in ectotherms changes with the <i>T</i><sub>A</sub> at which <i>Q</i><sub>10-SMR</sub> is assessed, as predicted from an adaptive hypothesis.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Physiological diversity and global patterns of biodiversity in a time of global climate change: testing and generating key hypotheses involving temperature and oxygen’.

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

description: 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 ectotherm organisms are linked to differences in their body mass and genome size (as a proxy for cell size). Since the vulnerability of larger, aquatic taxa to warming has been attributed to the oxygen limitation hypothesis, we also assessed how body mass and genome size modulate thermal tolerance in species with contrasting breathing modes, habitats and life stages. A database with the upper (CTmax) and lower (CTmin) critical thermal limits and their methodological aspects was assembled comprising more than 500 species of ectotherms. Our results demonstrate that thermal tolerance in ectotherms is dependent on body mass and genome size and these relationships became especially evident in prolonged experimental trials where energy efficiency gains importance. During long-term trials, CTmax was impaired in larger-bodied water-breathers, consistent with a role for oxygen limitation. Variation in CTmin was mostly explained by the combined effects of body mass and genome size and it was enhanced in larger-celled, air-breathing species during long-term trials, consistent with a role for depolarization of cell membranes. Our results also highlight the importance of accounting for phylogeny and exposure duration. Especially when considering long-term trials, the observed effects on thermal limits are more in line with the warming-induced reduction in body mass observed during long-term rearing experiments.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Physiological diversity and global patterns of biodiversity in a time of global climate change: testing and generating key hypotheses involving temperature and oxygen’.

title: Stata do file code for simulation analyses from Older paternal ages and grandpaternal ages at conception predict longer telomeres in human descendants.

description: Telomere length (TL) declines with age in most human tissues, and shorter TL appears to accelerate senescence. By contrast, men's sperm TL is positively correlated with age. Correspondingly, in humans, older paternal age at conception (PAC) predicts longer offspring TL. We have hypothesized that this PAC effect could persist across multiple generations, and thereby contribute to a transgenerational genetic plasticity that increases expenditures on somatic maintenance as the average age at reproduction is delayed within a lineage. Here, we examine TL data from 3282 humans together with PAC data across four generations. In this sample, the PAC effect is detectable in children and grandchildren. The PAC effect is transmitted through the matriline and patriline with similar strength and is characterized by a generational decay. PACs of more distant male ancestors were not significant predictors, although statistical power was limited in these analyses. Sensitivity analyses suggest that the PAC effect is linear, not moderated by offspring age, or maternal age, and is robust to controls for income, urbanicity and ancestry. These findings show that TL reflects the age at the reproduction of recent male matrilineal and patrilineal ancestors, with an effect that decays across generations.
