Briefings

A newly discovered amoeba reproduces at 145°F, breaking the heat record for eukaryotic life. This finding challenges existing biological limits on organismal survival. The evidence suggests this organism evolved in environments where such temperatures are possible, yet its reproductive success remains unverified.

Key points

• A newly discovered amoeba reproduces at 145°F, breaking the heat record for eukaryotic life.
• The organism's existence implies it evolved in environments where such temperatures are possible.

Context

This discovery challenges existing biological limits on organismal survival. The organism's existence implies it evolved in environments where such temperatures are possible.

Limitations

Reproduction success remains unverified. The evidence does not confirm whether this organism survives or reproduces at 145°F, only that it exists in such conditions.
