Thermal tolerance is an important factor influencing the distribution of ectotherms, but our
understanding of the ability of species to evolve different thermal limits is limited. Based on …

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

The potential of populations to evolve in response to ongoing climate change is partly
conditioned by the presence of heritable genetic variation in relevant physiological traits …

A common practice in thermal biology is to take individuals directly from the field and
estimate a range of thermal traits. These estimates are then used in studies aiming to …

Current studies indicate that estimates of thermal tolerance limits in ectotherms depend on
the experimental protocol used, with slower and presumably more ecologically relevant …

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 …

Thermal tolerance is a key factor limiting insect distributions, but there is limited information
on the ability of species to evolve different thermal limits. Recent studies indicate that the …

Increases in average temperature and the frequency of extreme temperature events are
likely to pose a major risk to species already close to their upper physiological thermal limits …

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 …
