Climate change is resulting in a radical transformation of the thermal quality of habitats
across the globe. Whereas species have altered their distributions to cope with changing …

Thermal performance curves (TPC s), which quantify how an ectotherm's body temperature
(Tb) affects its performance or fitness, are often used in an attempt to predict organismal …

The impact of temperature on developmental duration of insects has been long kept a high
profile in the studies of insect pests. The relationship between developmental rate, which is …

[en] The diversity of experimental methods and terminology employed by investigators to
measure the effects of high temperatures on individual organisms, plus the often overlooked …

In many organisms, individuals in colder environments grow more slowly but are larger as
adults. This widespread pattern is embodied by two well-established rules: Bergmann's rule …

Body temperature distributions of ectotherms which are free to select any environmental
temperature throughout a wide range usually are negatively skewed, that is, a wider range …

Thermal limits of ectotherms have been studied extensively and are believed to be
evolutionarily constrained, leaving ectotherms at risk under future climate change …

An increasing body of knowledge suggests that the estimation of critical upper thermal limits
(CTmax) is highly dependent on the experimental methodology employed. Here, we employ …

The equations used to account for the temperature dependence of biological processes,
including growth and metabolic rates, are the foundations of our predictions of how global …

Temperature provides a powerful theme for exploring environmental adaptation at all levels
of biological organization, from molecular kinetics to organismal fitness to global …
