Temperature profoundly impacts both the phenotypes and distributions of organisms. These
thermal effects exert strong selective pressures on behaviour, physiology and life history
when environmental temperatures vary over space and time. Despite temperature's
significance, progress toward a quantitative theory of thermal adaptation has lagged behind
empirical descriptions of patterns and processes. In this book, the author draws on theory
from the more general discipline of evolutionary ecology to establish a framework for …
