Thermoregulatory behaviour enables ectotherms to maintain preferred body temperatures
across a range of environmental conditions, and it may buffer individuals against the effects …

Climate change is rapidly altering the way current species interact with their environment to
satisfy life-history demands. In areas anticipated to experience extreme warming, rising …

Environmental temperatures influence ectotherms' physiology and capacity to perform
activities necessary for survival and reproduction. Time available to perform those activities …

Biological impacts of climate warming are predicted to increase with latitude, paralleling
increases in warming. However, the magnitude of impacts depends not only on the degree …

Preferred body temperatures (T sel) of ectotherms are important for ecological and
evolutionary studies. In lizards, the measurement of T sel is controversial for several …

Global climate change is already contributing to the extirpation of numerous species
worldwide, and sensitive species will continue to face challenges associated with rising …

Temperature increases can impact biodiversity and predicting their effects is one of the main
challenges facing global climate-change research. Ectotherms are sensitive to temperature …

The predominant view is that the thermal physiology of tropical ectotherms, including lizards,
is not labile over ecological timescales. We used the recent introduction (∼ 35 years ago) of …

In temperate areas, seasonal changes entail a source of environmental variation potentially
important for organisms. Temperate ectotherms may be adapted to the seasonal fluctuations …

The thermal ecology of ectotherms has been studied for almost 2 centuries, but additional
attention is currently being paid to it, to understand how organisms deal with the …
