The critical thermal limits of organisms and the thermal sensitivity of their performance tend
to vary predictably across latitudinal gradients. There has been comparatively less …

It is well known that lizard species from thermally diverse areas differ in their use of
thermoregulatory behaviors as a means of making short-term adjustments to differences in …

Two competing hypotheses have been suggested to explain thermal sensitivity of lizards to
environmental conditions. These are the static and the labile hypotheses. The static …

Microevolutionary studies often find that complex quantitative characters are highly
evolvable and adapted to the local environment, while macroevolutionary studies often …

Populations at the warm range margins of the species distribution may be at the greatest
risks of extinction from global warming unless they can tolerate extreme environmental …

Thermoregulation in ectotherms may be modulated by climatic variability across geographic
gradients. Environmental temperature varies along latitudinal clines resulting in …

Populations should adapt to the climate at their respective localities. Here, we examined
differences in thermal biology between two populations of Podarcis hispanica lizards from …

Species may exhibit similar thermal tolerances via either common ancestry or environmental
filtering and local adaptation, if the species inhabit similar environments. We ask whether …

Research addressing the effects of global warming on the distribution and persistence of
species generally assumes that population variation in thermal tolerance is spatially …

Temperature variation throughout a species range can be extensive and exert divergent
spatiotemporal patterns of selection. The estimation of phenotypic differences of populations …
