Elucidating the physiological mechanisms that underlie thermal stress and discovering how
species differ in capacities for phenotypic acclimatization and evolutionary adaptation to this …

How intertidal species survive their harsh environment and how best to evaluate and
forecast range shifts in species distribution are two important and closely related questions …

The impact of climate change on biodiversity has stimulated the need to understand
environmental stress responses, particularly for ecosystem engineers whose responses to …

Predicting species vulnerability to global warming requires a comprehensive, mechanistic
understanding of sublethal and lethal thermal tolerances. To date, however, most studies …

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 …

Investigating the history of natural selection among closely related species can elucidate
how genomes diverge in response to disparate environmental pressures. Molecular …

There is considerable interest in understanding how ectothermic animals may
physiologically and behaviourally buffer the effects of climate warming. Much less …

In order to predict the fate of biodiversity in a rapidly changing world, we must first
understand how species adapt to new environmental conditions. The long-term evolutionary …

Temperature-adaptive physiological variation plays important roles in latitudinal
biogeographic patterning and in setting vertical distributions along subtidal-to-intertidal …

Southern California (USA) populations of the intertidal marine snail Chlorostoma (formerly
Tegula) funebralis generally occupy warmer climates and are exposed to high air …
