Specific thermoreceptors or putative multimodal thermoreceptors are not known in Crustacea. However, behavioural studies on thermal avoidance and preference and on the effects of temperature on motor activity indicate that the thermosensitivity of crustaceans may be in the range 0.2–2°C. Work on planktonic crustaceans suggests that they respond particularly to changes in temperature by klinokinesis and orthokinesis. The thermal behaviour of crustaceans is modified by thermal acclimation among…

Thermal behaviour of edible crab Cancer pagurus Linnaeus, 1758 in coastal Norway
TLDR
The thermal preference and lower critical temperature in female edible crab Cancer pagurus, a decapod crustacean with an ongoing northward dispersal along the Norwegian coast, is investigated to provide important information about the functional characteristics of edible crab.
Motor activity of Daphnia magna (Crustacea, Cladocera) during thermal selection: Peculiarities of search reactions in the non-uniform environment
We conducted a study of the peculiarities of the motor activity of juvenile and adult individuals of Daphnia magna in the process of thermal selection. On the example of Daphnia, we experimentally…

Preference Versus Performance: Body Temperature of the Intertidal Snail Chlorostoma funebralis
TLDR
In laboratory experiments, the intertidal snail Chlorostoma funebralis was allowed to position itself on a temperature gradient, then measured its thermal preference and determined an index of how its performance varied with temperature, which resulted in a biased random walk along the temperature gradient.
Effect of thermal acclimation on thermal preference, resistance and locomotor performance of hatchling soft-shelled turtle
TLDR
Hatchlings acclimated to relatively warm temperatures have a better performance, supporting the "hotter is better" hy- pothesis, and the locomotor performance of turtles was affected by both body temperature and acclimation temps.
Thermal tolerance breadths among groundwater crustaceans living in a thermally constant environment
TLDR
Differences in response to temperature variation among Proasellus species indicated that their thermal physiology was not solely shaped by the current temperature seasonality in their natural habitats.

Thermal acclimation in a crustacean neuromuscular system.
TLDR
It is suggested that the decline in EJP amplitude and time constant of decay produced by deviations in temperature from the acclimation temperature is compensated for by an increase in the amount of facilitation, so that maximum tension can be produced by the stretcher muscle in a range of at least 8 degrees C around the acclamation temperature.

Critical Thermal Maxima in Salamanders
TLDR
This method allows a quantitative determination of thermal tolerance by measuring the area of the polygon, the units being in square degrees, and the ultimate upper and lower incipient lethal temperatures can be determined by this method.
Thermosensitivity of the lobster, Homarus americanus, as determined by cardiac assay.
TLDR
A comparison of winter and summer lobsters, both held at 15 degrees C for more than 4 weeks, revealed that although their responses to temperature changes were similar, winter lobsters had a significantly lower baseline heart rate and a shorter duration cardiac response than summer lobster, suggesting that some temperature-independent seasonal modulation of cardiac activity may be occurring.
Behavioral thermoregulation and the "final preferendum" paradigm
TLDR
This paradigm, developed for use with fishes, can also be applied to other ectothermic taxa, although it is most easily employed with aquatic organisms because of the simplicity of specifying aquatic thermal environments in terms of water temperature alone.

TLDR
It is suggested that changes in the composition of membrane lipids may be responsible for the effects of acclimation on the electrical parameters and their characteristic temperature dependence.
