Phenotypic characteristics of animals can change independently from changes in the
genetic code. These plastic phenotypic responses are important for population persistence …

Decades of research have illuminated the underlying ingredients that determine the scope
of evolutionary responses to climate change. The field of evolutionary biology therefore …

Ectotherms are considered to be particularly vulnerable to climate warming. Descriptions of
habitat temperatures and predicted changes in climate usually consider mean monthly …

How thermal tolerance estimated in the laboratory can be extrapolated to natural settings
remains a contentious subject. Here, we argue that the general premise that a single …

We urgently need to predict species responses to climate change to minimize future
biodiversity loss and ensure we do not waste limited resources on ineffective conservation …

Molecular evolution offers an insightful theory to interpret the genomic consequences of
thermal adaptation to previous events of climate change beyond range shifts. However …

Understanding the motors and brakes that guide physiological evolution is a topic of keen
interest, and is of increasing importance in light of global climate change. For more than half …

In situ adaptation to climate change will be critical for the persistence of many ectotherm
species due to their relative lack of dispersal capacity. Climate change is causing increases …

Ectotherms can respond to global warming via evolutionary change of their upper thermal
limits (CTmax). Thus, the estimation of CTmax and its evolutionary potential is crucial to …

Aim Climate change is currently altering the geographical distribution of species, but how
this process contributes to biogeographical variation in ecological traits is unknown. Range …
