Understanding how species' thermal limits have evolved across the tree of life is central to
predicting species' responses to climate change. Here, using experimentally-derived …

Ageing refers to the loss of organismal functionality with age, a process that is characterised
by decreased reproduction and survival probability. In natural populations, it is expected that …

Climate change and agricultural intensification are exposing insect pollinators to
temperature extremes and increasing pesticide usage. Yet, we lack good quantification of …

Climate change can affect species distribution patterns in three different ways: pushing them
to disperse to new suitable areas, forcing them to adapt to novel climatic conditions, or …

The effects of environmental temperature on components of insect flight determine life‐
history traits, fitness, adaptability and, ultimately, organism ecosystem functional roles …

Phenotypic plasticity may allow ectotherms with complex life histories such as amphibians to
cope with climate‐driven changes in their environment. Plasticity in thermal tolerance (ie …

Ongoing climate change has profoundly affected global biodiversity, but its impacts on
populations across elevations remain understudied. Using mechanistic niche models …

A major challenge in ecology and evolution is to disentangle the mechanisms driving broad-
scale variation in biological traits such as body size, colour, thermal physiology traits and …

Assessing the heat tolerance (CTmax) of organisms is central to understand the impact of
climate change on biodiversity. While both environment and evolutionary history affect …

Understanding the mechanisms behind critical thermal maxima (CTmax; the high body
temperature at which neuromuscular coordination is lost) of organisms is central to …
