Developmental rates of ectotherms (y) are often linearly related to temperature (T c in C)
within some biologically relevant range of temperatures as y=(1/S)(T c− T b), where T b is …

While human‐induced stressors such as warming and pollutants may co‐occur and interact,
evolutionary studies typically focus on single stressors. Rapid thermal evolution may help …

In ectotherms, lower mean temperatures and shorter growing seasons at higher latitudes
would be expected to cause a reduction in the annual growth rate of an individual. If slower …

To understand the effects of temperature on biological systems, we compile, organize, and
analyze a database of 1,072 thermal responses for microbes, plants, and animals. The …

Ectothermic organisms respond to rapid environmental change through a combination of
behavioral and physiological adjustments. As behavioral and physiological traits are often …

Size at maturity in ectotherms commonly declines with warming. This near‐universal
phenomenon, formalised as the temperature–size rule, has been observed in over 80% of …

Size at the start of life reflects the initial per offspring parental investment—including both the
embryo and the nutrients supplied to it. Initial offspring size can vary substantially, both …

Thermoregulatory behaviour represents an important component of ectotherm non-genetic
adaptive capacity that mitigates the impact of ongoing climate change. The buffering role of …

Although nearly all organisms are subject to fluctuating temperature regimes in their natural
habitat, little is known about the genetics underlying the response to thermal conditions, and …

Diverse biochemical and physiological adaptations enable different species of ectotherms to
survive and reproduce in very different temperature regimes, but whether these adaptations …
