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

Lizard life-history characteristics vary widely among species and populations. Most authors
seek adaptive or phylogenetic explanations for life-history patterns, which are usually …

For more than six decades, physiological ecologists have intensively studied diverse
aspects of lizard thermal biology. Nevertheless, a recent review notes that prior studies have …

Understanding the factors that drive geographic variation in life history is an important
challenge in evolutionary ecology. Here, we analyze what predicts geographic variation in …

Aim Many ectotherms are at risk from climate change as temperatures are increasingly
exceeding their thermal limits. Many evaluations of the vulnerability of ectotherms to climate …

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 …

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

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

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 …

Climatic conditions changing over time and space shape the evolution of organisms at
multiple levels, including temperate lizards in the family Lacertidae. Here we reconstruct a …
