The effect of climate warming on the reproductive success of ectothermic animals is currently
a subject of major conservation concern. However, for many threatened species, we still …

Adaptation to increasing temperatures may enable species to mitigate the long-term impacts
of climate change. Sea turtles have temperature dependent sex determination (TSD) and …

Climate change is threatening reproduction of many ectotherms by increasing nest
temperatures, potentially making it more difficult for females to locate nest sites that provide …

How are organisms responding to climate change? The rapidity with which climate is
changing suggests that, in species with long generation times, adaptive evolution may be …

Sessile organisms with thermally sensitive developmental trajectories are at high risk from
climate change. For example, oviparous reptiles with temperature-dependent sex …

Species with large geographical ranges provide an excellent model for studying how
different populations respond to dissimilar local conditions, particularly with respect to …

Sex determination and hatching success in sea turtles is temperature dependent and as a
result global warming poses a threat to sea turtles. Warmer sand temperatures may skew …

The metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) predicts that, after correcting for body mass variation
among organisms, the rates of most biological processes will vary as a universal function of …

Thermal tolerances are affected by the range of temperatures that species encounter in their
habitat. Daniel Janzen hypothesized in his “Why mountain passes are higher in the tropics” …

How species respond to climate change may impact their extinction probability. Here we link
climatology and ecology to tackle a globally important conservation question. For sea turtles …
