Over the last few decades, biologists have made substantial progress in understanding
relationships between changing climates and organism performance. Much of this work has …

Gene flow from the center of a species' range can stymie adaptation at the periphery and
prevent the range from expanding outward. We study this process using simple models that …

The long history of reciprocal transplant studies testing the hypothesis of local adaptation
has shown that populations are often adapted to their local environments. Yet many studies …

The evolution of intrinsic growth rate has received less attention than other life history traits,
and has been studied differently in plants, homoiotherms, and poikilotherms. The benefits of …

SYNOPSIS. Morphological and physiological plasticity is often thought to represent an
adaptive response to variable environments. However, determining whether a given pattern …

This is a digital reprint of a book first published in 1996. The responses of a wide range of
species to temperature change at all scales of organization, ranging through the molecular …

Whether movement will enable organisms to alleviate thermal stress is central to the
biodiversity implications of climate change. We use the temperature-dependence of …

Body size of animals often increases with increasing latitude. These latitudinal clines in body
size have interested biologists for over 150 years. However, the mechanisms that generate …

Plasticity is a near‐ubiquitous feature of the thermal physiology of ectothermic organisms.
Understanding the significance of plasticity in evolutionary and ecological contexts requires …
