Over the past decade, accelerating rates of species extinction have prompted an increasing
number of studies to reduce species diversity experimentally and examine how this alters …

The physiological mechanisms limiting and adjusting cold and heat tolerance have regained
interest in the light of global warming and associated shifts in the geographical distribution of …

Recent years have shown a rise in mean global temperatures and a shift in the geographical
distribution of ectothermic animals. For a cause and effect analysis the present paper …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are important tools to explore the effects of future global
changes in biodiversity. Previous studies show that variability is introduced into projected …

Global climate change is impacting and will continue to impact marine and estuarine fish
and fisheries. Data trends show global climate change effects ranging from increased …

In light of the current rising mean temperatures and fluctuations in temperature extremes
involved in global climate change, a cause-and-effect understanding of the temperature …

To understand how planet Earth works we study it increasingly as a system–a collection of
interdependent parts or spheres–the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the cryosphere, the …

Currently rising CO2 levels in atmosphere and marine surface waters as well as projected
scenarios of CO2 disposal in the ocean emphasize that CO2 sensitivities need to be …

It is often assumed that iteroparous fishes spawn annually once reaching sexual maturity,
but this is not always the case. This paper reviews available information on skipped …

Through functional analyses, integrative physiology is able to link molecular biology with
ecology as well as evolutionary biology and is thereby expected to provide access to the …
