The exposure order may strongly affect the impact of stressors, yet is largely ignored for the
frequently occurring combinations of toxicants with natural stressors. We tested how …

For more than 70 years, Hutchinson's concept of the fundamental niche has guided
ecological research. Hutchinson envisioned the niche as a multidimensional hypervolume …

Upper thermal limits are considered a key determinant of a population's ability to persist in
the face of extreme heat events. However, these limits differ considerably among individuals …

The ability of organisms to cope with environmental stressors depends on the duration and
intensity of the stressor, as well as the type of stress. For aquatic organisms, oxygen …

Several recent studies have highlighted how impaired cardiac performance at high
temperatures and in hypoxia may compromise the capacity for oxygen transport. Thus, at …

Rapid glacier recession is altering the physical conditions of headwater streams. Stream
temperatures are predicted to rise and become increasingly variable, putting entire …

The distributions of ectothermic marine organisms are limited to temperature ranges and
oxygen conditions that support aerobic respiration, quantified within the metabolic index (ϕ) …

Crabs categorized as cold-blooded organisms are especially at risk as climate change
worsens. Their current situation was not well documented, especially in terms of …

Species extinction rates are many times greater than the direst predictions made two
decades ago by environmentalists, largely because of human impact. Major concerns are …

Aquatic ectotherms often attain smaller body sizes at higher temperatures. By analysing~
15,000 coastal‐reef fish surveys across a 15° C spatial sea surface temperature (SST) …
