In ectotherms, lower temperatures in high-latitude environments would theoretically reduce
the annual growth rates of individuals. If slower growth and resultant smaller body size …

Adaptive phenotypic plasticity evolves when cues reliably predict fitness consequences of
life‐history decisions, whereas bet hedging evolves when environments are unpredictable …

Latitudinal variation in thermal reaction norms of key fitness traits may inform about the
response of populations to climate warming, yet their adaptive nature and evolutionary …

The temperature–size rule is a common pattern of phenotypic plasticity in which higher
temperature during development results in a smaller adult body size (ie a thermal reaction …

The ongoing and future effects of global climate change on natural and human-managed
ecosystems have led to a renewed interest in the concept of ecological thresholds or tipping …

The ability of organisms to perform at different temperatures could be described by a
continuous nonlinear reaction norm (ie, thermal performance curve, TPC), in which the …

Salinity is one of the main factors impacting distribution of marine plants and sub-optimal
salinities may result in increased resource use and decreased production. We studied the …

Plant pathogen populations inhabit patchy environments with contrasting, variable thermal
conditions. We investigated the diversity of thermal responses in populations sampled over …

Two major goals of laboratory evolution experiments are to integrate from genotype to
phenotype to fitness, and to understand the genetic basis of adaptation in natural …

It is considered that extreme environmental temperature, rather than mean temperatures
exert a selective pressure in ectotherms. Consequently, it is important to understand how the …
