Temperature variation is one of the primary challenges facing ectotherms, and the ability to
tolerate a range of thermal environments is critical for setting current and future species …

Susceptibility to global warming relies on how thermal tolerances respond to increasing
temperatures through plasticity or evolution. Climatic adaptation can be assessed by …

Understanding how thermal selection affects phenotypic distributions across different time
scales will allow us to predict the effect of climate change on the fitness of ectotherms. We …

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

Thermal tolerance and its plasticity are important for understanding ectotherm responses to
climate change. However, it is unclear whether plasticity is traded‐off at the expense of …

Thermal tolerance is an important factor influencing the distribution of ectotherms, but we still
have limited understanding of the ability of species to evolve different thermal limits. Recent …

Variation in temperature imposes selection pressures on organisms. In variable
environments, organisms must adopt fixed or plastic strategies that enable persistence over …

Tropical and subtropical species represent the majority of biodiversity. These species are
predicted to lack the capacity to evolve higher thermal limits in response to selection …

The range of thermal tolerance is one of the main factors influencing the geographic
distribution of species. Climate change projections predict increases in average and …

Thermal tolerance is a critical determinant of ectotherm distribution, which is likely to be
influenced by future climate change. To predict such distributional changes, simple and …
