Aim Understanding and predicting the biological consequences of climate change requires
considering the thermal sensitivity of organisms relative to environmental temperatures. One …

Warming, the most prominent aspect of global environmental change, already affects most
ecosystems on Earth. In recent years, biologists have increasingly integrated the effects of …

The capacity of arthropod populations to adapt to long-term climatic warming is currently
uncertain. Here we combine theory and extensive data to show that the rate of their thermal …

Determining how species' geographic ranges are governed by current climates and how
they will respond to rapid climatic change poses a major biological challenge. Geographic …

Many species face extinction risks owing to climate change, and there is an urgent need to
identify which species' populations will be most vulnerable. Plasticity in heat tolerance …

Aim To test if physiological acclimation can buffer species against increasing extreme heat
due to climate change. Location Global. Time period 1960 to 2015. Major taxa studied …

The climatic variability hypothesis (CVH) is a cornerstone of thermal ecology, predicting the
evolution of wider organismal thermal tolerance ranges in more thermally variable …

Realistic predictions about the impacts of climate change onbiodiversity requires gathering
ecophysiological data and the critical thermal maxima (CTMax) is the most frequently used …

Thermal traits are frequently used to explain variation in species distributions, abundance,
and sensitivity to climate change. Due to their utility and ease of measurement, critical …

Accurately forecasting the response of global biota to warming is a fundamental challenge
for ecology in the Anthropocene. Within-species variation in thermal sensitivity, caused by …
