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 …

Understanding how quickly physiological traits evolve is a topic of great interest, particularly
in the context of how organisms can adapt in response to climate warming. Adjustment to …

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

Ectothermic species are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature and may adapt to
changes in thermal environments through evolutionary shifts in thermal physiology or …

The widespread observation that heat tolerance is less variable than cold tolerance ('cold‐
tolerance asymmetry') leads to the prediction that species exposed to temperatures near …

Thermal trait variation is of fundamental importance to forecasting the impacts of
environmental change on lizard diversity. Here, we review the literature for patterns of …

Aim Temperature influences most components of animal ecology and life history–but what
kind of temperature? Physiologists usually examine the influence of body temperatures …

One of the fundamental goals in macroecology is to understand the relationship among
species' geographic ranges, ecophysiology, and climate; however, the mechanisms …

1. Thermoregulation buffers environmental variation, which enables a species to persist
during climate change but ultimately hinders adaptation of thermal tolerance by weakening …
