Ectothermic animals, such as amphibians and reptiles, are particularly sensitive to rapidly
warming global temperatures. One response in these organisms may be to evolve aspects …

To forecast climate change impacts across habitats or taxa, thermal vulnerability indices (eg,
safety margins and warming tolerances) are growing in popularity. Here, we present their …

Populations of many species are genetically adapted to local historical climate conditions.
Yet most forecasts of species' distributions under climate change have ignored local …

Studies have documented climate change–induced shifts in species distributions but
uncertainties associated with data and methods are typically unexplored. We reviewed 240 …

The insurance effect of biodiversity—that diversity stabilises aggregate ecosystem properties—
is mechanistically underlain by inter‐and intraspecific trait variation in organismal responses …

The climate variability hypothesis posits that increased environmental thermal variation
should select for thermal generalists, while stable environments should favor thermal …

Global correlations of range size and niche breadth, and their relationship to latitude, have
long intrigued ecologists and biogeographers. Study of these patterns has given rise to a …

Estimates of organismal thermal tolerance are frequently used to assess physiological risk
from warming, yet the assumption that these estimates are predictive of mortality has been …

Global warming is having impacts across the Tree of Life. Understanding species'
physiological sensitivity to temperature change and how they relate to local temperature …

Aim Our understanding of species' responses to climate depends on choosing the scale for
the analysis. Processes driving physiological adaptation that occur at the small spatial …
