The observed distributions of two grazing minnows differ along a stream-size gradient in grassland streams and may be linked to temperature. In laboratory experiments, we assayed a suite of physiological traits along a temperature gradient and found that species differed in critical thermal maxima, with subtle differences in other traits.

Species may exhibit similar thermal tolerances via either common ancestry or environmental filtering and local adaptation, if the species inhabit similar environments. We ask whether upper and lower thermal limits (critical thermal maxima and minima) and body temperatures are more strongly conserved across evolutionary history or geography for lizard populations distributed globally. We find that critical thermal maxima are highly conserved with location accounting for a higher proportion of the variation than phylogeny. Notably, thermal tolerance breadth is conserved across the phylogeny despite critical thermal minima showing little niche conservatism. Body temperatures observed during activity in the field show the greatest degree of conservatism, with phylogeny accounting for most of the variation. This suggests that propensities for thermoregulatory behaviour, which can buffer body temperatures from environmental variation, are similar within lineages. Phylogeny and geography constrain thermal tolerances similarly within continents, but variably within clades. Conservatism of thermal tolerances across lineages suggests that the potential for local adaptation to alleviate the impacts of climate change on lizards may be limited.

Seasonal critical thermal maxima (CTMax) were determined for greenside (Etheostoma blennioides), fantail (Etheostoma flabellare), and rainbow (Etheostoma caeruleum) darters. Mean CTMax values for field-acclimatized greenside darters ranged from 26.2 °C in March to 35.1 °C in September. The values for fantail and rainbow darters were 30.8–36.0 °C (March–July) and 30.0–36.4 °C (April–July), respectively. CTMax values for the three species were significantly correlated (P < 0.05) with field water temperature (greenside darter, r = 0.970; rainbow darter, r = 0.964; fantail darter, r = 0.968). Fish acclimated at 10 and 20 °C in the laboratory exhibited significant seasonal changes in CTMax, with the highest values occurring in the summer. Except for fantail darters tested in summer, the three species showed significant relationships between CTMax and acclimation temperature. Seasonal differences were also observed in the slopes of the relationships between CTMax and acclimation temperature. The highest slopes occurred in spring, autumn, or both. Differences in the tolerance of darters to high temperatures and adjustment of tolerance to high temperature may influence their distributions in streams.
