A phenomics approach reveals interspecific differences in integrated developmental responses to chronic elevated temperatures.

ABSTRACT: Phenomics, high-dimensional organismal phenotyping, is advanced as a solution to quantifying complex developmental responses to elevated temperatures. 'Energy proxy traits' (EPTs) measure the phenotype as a spectrum of energy values across different temporal frequencies from pixel value fluctuations of video. Although they have proven effective in measuring the biology of complex and dynamic developing organisms, their utility in assessing environmental sensitivity of different species is untested. Using EPTs, we assess the relative thermal sensitivities of embryos of three species of freshwater snail with marked differences in their developmental event timings. Embryos of Lymnaea stagnalis, Radix balthica and Physella acuta were videoed hourly for the duration of their embryonic developme
