Adaptive evolution is key in mediating responses to global warming and may sometimes be
the only solution for species to survive. Such evolution will expectedly lead to changes in the …

Adaptation to increasingly warmer environments may be critical to avoid extinction. Whether
and how these adaptive responses can arise is under debate. Though several studies have …

Thermal plasticity can help organisms coping with climate change. In this study, we analyse
how laboratory populations of the ectotherm species Drosophila subobscura, originally from …

The ability to respond evolutionarily to increasing temperatures is important for survival of
ectotherms in a changing climate. Recent studies suggest that upper thermal limits may be …

Susceptibility to global warming relies on how thermal tolerances respond to increasing
temperatures through plasticity or evolution. Climatic adaptation can be assessed by …

Adaptive evolution is critical for animal populations to thrive in the fast-changing natural
environments. Ectotherms are particularly vulnerable to global warming and, although their …

Phenotypic plasticity can help organisms cope with changing thermal conditions and it may
depend on which life-stage the thermal stress is imposed: for instance, exposure to stressful …

Phenotypic plasticity may allow species to cope with environmental variation. The study of
thermal plasticity and its evolution helps understanding how populations respond to …

Exposure to extreme temperatures is increasingly likely to impose strong selection on many
organisms in their natural environments. The ability of organisms to adapt to such selective …

The thermal biology of ectotherms is often used to infer species' responses to changes in
temperature. It is often proposed that temperate species are more cold-tolerant, less heat …
