Temperature is likely to be one of the most important abiotic factors given how it affects the physiology of the whole organism and as a consequence, it has an essential role in ecology and evolution. However, how the geographical (and temporal) variation of temperature is related to physiology still raises many questions. Several macrophysiological hypotheses have been proposed to explain the variation patterns of thermal physiological parameters across ecological gradients. Among them, Janzen’s (1967) 'seasonality’ hypothesis is probably one of the most relevant as it has awakened a great interest in other areas besides physiology itself, such as biogeography, ecology, evolution and conservation biology. Janzen (1967) proposed that tropic...
