Although the size of an organism is influenced by many features of its environment, the
relationship between temperature and body size has captivated generations of biologists …

Body temperature (T b) profoundly affects the fitness of ectotherms. Many ectotherms use
behavior to control T b within narrow levels. These temperatures are assumed to be optimal …

To assess long‐term impacts of global warming on species, there is growing interest in
latitudinal intraspecific patterns in thermal adaptation. Yet, while both mean temperatures …

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 …

Although the potential to adapt to warmer climate is constrained by genetic trade-offs, our
understanding of how selection and mutation shape genetic (co) variances in thermal …

Thermal limits of viable ectotherm development are threshold‐like and near‐symmetrical
around the temperature of optimal performance and usually well within the thermal tolerance …

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 …

Abstract.—Tradeoffs in performance or fitness across environments have important
implications regarding the nature of evolutionary constraints. It remains controversial …

Abstract Theory predicts the emergence of generalists in variable environments and
antagonistic pleiotropy to favour specialists in constant environments, but empirical data …

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