Body size is central to ecology at levels ranging from organismal fecundity to the functioning
of communities and ecosystems. Understanding temperature‐induced variations in body …

Intraspecific variation in key traits such as tolerance of warming can have profound effects
on ecological and evolutionary processes, notably responses to climate change. The …

Climate change poses a significant threat to global biodiversity, but freshwater fishes have
been largely ignored in climate change assessments. Here, we assess threats of future flow …

Plasticity can allow organisms to maintain consistent performance across a wide range of
environmental conditions. However, it remains largely unknown how costly plasticity is and …

Both oxygen and temperature are fundamental factors determining metabolic performance,
fitness, ecological niches, and responses of many aquatic organisms to climate change …

Linking variation in species' traits to large-scale environmental gradients can lend insight
into the evolutionary processes that have shaped functional diversity and future responses …

Temperature tolerance is critical for defining the fundamental niche of ectotherms and
researchers classically use either static (exposure to a constant temperature) or dynamic …

Recent studies suggest that animals are decreasing in size as a general response to global
warming, for reasons that remain unclear. Here, by analysing ectotherm death time curves …

Climate plays a key role in shaping population trends and determining the geographic
distribution of species because of limits in species' thermal tolerance. An evaluation of …

Forecasting long‐term consequences of global warming requires knowledge on thermal
mortality and how heat stress interacts with other environmental stressors on different …
