Tropical ectotherms are thought to be especially vulnerable to climate change because they
are adapted to relatively stable temperature regimes, such that even small increases in …

Understanding how quickly physiological traits evolve is a topic of great interest, particularly
in the context of how organisms can adapt in response to climate warming. Adjustment to …

Ectothermic species are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature and may adapt to
changes in thermal environments through evolutionary shifts in thermal physiology or …

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 …

A major challenge in ecology and evolution is to disentangle the mechanisms driving broad-
scale variation in biological traits such as body size, colour, thermal physiology traits and …

The thermal requirements of ectotherms may vary among species due to adaptation to
different thermal environments. Nevertheless, some of these requirements are evolutionarily …

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

Ectothermic animals, such as amphibians and reptiles, are particularly sensitive to rapidly
warming global temperatures. One response in these organisms may be to evolve aspects …

Rising global temperatures are predicted to impact organisms in diverse ways. For
ectotherms, recent broad‐scale analyses have predicted global patterns of vulnerability to …

Body temperature influences the performance and fitness of ectotherms. How thermal
sensitivity responds to selection for resistance to high temperature is broadly relevant in …
