The Anthropocene is characterized by a widespread biodiversity crisis that is rivaling
prehistoric mass extinctions. Amphibians are the most threatened class of vertebrates. In …

Wetlands in the remote mountains of the western US have undergone two massive
ecological “experiments” spanning the 20th century. Beginning in the late 1800s and …

Habitat fragmentation changes thermal conditions in remnant patches, and thermal
conditions strongly influence organism morphology, distribution, and activity patterns …

Aim The climate variability hypothesis (CVH) states that a positive relationship may exist
between the breadth of thermal tolerance range and the level of climatic variability …

Insights into the causal mechanisms that limit species distributions are likely to improve our
ability to anticipate species range shifts in response to climate change. For species with …

Ectotherm thermal physiology is frequently used to predict species responses to changing
climates, but for amphibians, water loss may be of equal or greater importance. Using …

Concerns over the consequences of global climate change for biodiversity have spurred a
renewed interest in organismal thermal physiology. However, temperature is only one of …

The vulnerability of species to climate change is jointly influenced by geographic phenotypic
variation, acclimation and behavioural thermoregulation. The importance of interactions …

Species distribution models (SDMs) have been widely used to predict potentially suitable
habitats for invasive alien species (IAS) and evaluate invasion risk. However, SDMs have …

Aim Land‐use change leads to local climatic changes, which can induce shifts in community
composition. Indeed, human‐altered land uses favour species able to tolerate greater …
