The accuracy of predictive models (also known as mechanistic or causal models) of animal
responses to climate change depends on properly incorporating the principles of heat …

Despite decades of research on the evolution of thermal physiology, at least one
fundamental issue remains unresolved: whether the maximal performance of a genotype …

A recently developed integrative framework proposes that the vulnerability of a species to
environmental change depends on the species' exposure and sensitivity to environmental …

As global temperatures reach record highs, threats posed by climate change to biodiversity
become ever more severe. For endotherms, maintaining body temperature within safe …

Coincident with recent global warming, species have shifted their geographic distributions to
cooler environments, generally by moving along thermal axes to higher latitudes, higher …

Aim Physiology is emerging as a basis for understanding the distribution and diversity of
organisms, and ultimately for predicting their responses to climate change. Here we review …

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

Avian responses to high environmental temperatures include retreating to cooler microsites
and/or increasing rates of evaporative heat dissipation via panting, both of which may affect …

Hyperthermia has demonstrated clinical success in improving the efficacy of both chemo-
and radio-therapy in solid tumors. Pre-clinical and clinical research studies have …

The avian bill is a textbook example of how evolution shapes morphology in response to
changing environments. Bills of seed‐specialist finches in particular have been the focus of …
