Ectothermic animals, such as amphibians and reptiles, are particularly sensitive to rapidly
warming global temperatures. One response in these organisms may be to evolve aspects …

Future increases in drought severity and frequency are predicted to have substantial impacts
on plant function and survival. However, there is considerable uncertainty concerning what …

Multivariate climate change presents an urgent need to understand how species adapt to
complex environments. Population genetic theory predicts that loci under selection will form …

Patterns in functional diversity of organisms at large spatial scales can provide insight into
possible responses to future climate change, but it remains a challenge to link large‐scale …

Phenotypic plasticity can allow organisms to cope with environmental changes. Although
reaction norms are commonly used to quantify plasticity along gradients of environmental …

Global warming is increasing mean temperatures and altering temperature variability at
multiple temporal scales. To better understand the consequences of changes in thermal …

We have been field observers of tropical insects on four continents and, since 1978, intense
observers of caterpillars, their parasites, and their associates in the 1,260 km2 of dry, cloud …

Determining the resilience of a species or population to climate change stressors is an
important but difficult task because resilience can be affected both by genetically based …

External conditions can drive biological rates in ectotherms by directly influencing body
temperatures. While estimating the temperature dependence of performance traits such as …

Thermal variability is a key driver of ecological processes, affecting organisms and
populations across multiple temporal scales. Despite the ubiquity of variation, biologists lack …
