Phenotypic characteristics of animals can change independently from changes in the
genetic code. These plastic phenotypic responses are important for population persistence …

Environmental temperature has systematic effects on rates of species interactions, primarily
through its influence on organismal physiology. We present a mechanistic model for the …

Environmental signals act primarily on physiological systems, which then influence higher‐
level functions such as movement patterns and population dynamics. Increases in average …

Evolutionary adaptation to temperature and climate depends on both the extent to which
organisms experience spatial and temporal environmental variation (exposure) and how …

Decades of research have illuminated the underlying ingredients that determine the scope
of evolutionary responses to climate change. The field of evolutionary biology therefore …

Climate change will increase both average temperatures and extreme summer
temperatures. Analyses of the fitness consequences of climate change have generally …

The present paper reviews the effects of water temperature and flow on migrations,
embryonic development, hatching, emergence, growth and life‐history traits in light of the …

How thermal tolerance estimated in the laboratory can be extrapolated to natural settings
remains a contentious subject. Here, we argue that the general premise that a single …

Behavior is one of the major architects of evolution: by behaviorally modifying how they
interact with their environments, organisms can influence natural selection, amplifying it in …

During the last quarter of a century, the evolution of the thermal sensitivity of performance in
ectotherms has become a major focus of research programs in evolutionary physiology …
