Understanding the factors affecting thermal tolerance is crucial for predicting the impact
climate change will have on ectotherms. However, the role developmental plasticity plays in …

Upper thermal limits (CTmax) are frequently used to parameterize the fundamental niche of
ectothermic animals and to infer biogeographical distribution limits under current and future …

Temperature affects the rate of all biochemical processes in ectotherms, and is therefore
critical for determining their current and future distribution under global climate change …

As climate change transforms the biosphere, more comprehensive and biologically relevant
measurements of changing conditions are needed. Traditional climate measurements are …

Urban parks can cool the urban environment and mitigate the urban heat island effect.
Quantifying the park cooling effect and its relationships with park characteristics is important …

A major challenge in modern biology is to understand extinction risk from climate change
across all realms. Recent research has revealed that physiological tolerance, behavioral …

There is considerable uncertainty regarding which ecosystems are most vulnerable to
warming. Current understanding of organismal sensitivity is largely centred on species-level …

Interest in assessing the critical thermal limits of bees is rapidly increasing, as these
physiological traits are good predictors of bees' potential responses to extreme temperature …

Ectotherms that maintain thermal balance in the face of varying climates should be able to
colonise a wide range of habitats. In lizards, thermoregulation usually appears as a variety …

Societal Impact Statement Globally, cities are planning for resilience through urban greening
initiatives as governments understand the importance of urban forests in improving quality of …
