Anthropogenic global warming and deforestation are significant drivers of the global
biodiversity crisis. Ectothermic and viviparous animals are especially vulnerable since high …

Climate change is anticipated to exacerbate the extinction risk of species whose persistence
is already compromised by habitat loss, invasive species, disease, or other stressors. In …

Mechanisms affecting consistent interindividual behavioral variation (ie, animal personality)
are of wide scientific interest. In poikilotherms, ambient temperature is one of the most …

Assisted colonization to locations predicted to remain climatically suitable in the future is
increasingly necessary to mitigate climate change effects in ectotherms such as reptiles …

Widespread species experience a variety of climates across their distribution, which can
structure their thermal tolerance, and ultimately, responses to climate change. For …

Introduction Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) are an increasingly important global health
concern in the face of climate change. Understanding the ecology and evolution of vector …

There is strong covariation between the thermal physiology of ectothermic animals and their
thermal environment. Spatial and temporal differences in the thermal environment across a …

Captive-bred organisms are widely used in ecology, evolution and conservation research,
especially in scenarios where natural populations are scarce or at risk of extinction. Yet, it is …

Aim This study examines how climate shaped Microtus californicus (Rodentia: Arvicolinae)
ecomorphology throughout the Quaternary. It tests three hypotheses:(a) climate corresponds …

Climate change is one of the greatest threats to species across the globe, but the threats to
tropical animals have largely been overlooked. Tropical high elevation species are distinctly …
