Tolerance Range of Animal to Gradient of Temperature
Organisms have ranges of tolerance for environmental factors.The
range will be the high and low extremes of tolerance for an
environmental factor. Organisms have specific requirements for
successful growth, development and reproduction.
Example: There may be a coldest temperature and hottest temperature
an animal can survive in their environment. That is their range of
tolerance.
Animal has optimum condition too. optimum condition is a condition
that are most favorable for an organism to survive, grow and reproduce.
This optimum is somewhere within the range of tolerance for that organism.
If an animal has a range of tolerance for temperature of 0-85
degree F somewhere within that temperature range will be the temperature
that the animal grows best.
