Phenotypic plasticity may allow species to cope with environmental variation. The study of
thermal plasticity and its evolution helps understanding how populations respond to …

Phenotypic plasticity can help organisms cope with changing thermal conditions and it may
depend on which life-stage the thermal stress is imposed: for instance, exposure to stressful …

Adaptive evolution is key in mediating responses to global warming and may sometimes be
the only solution for species to survive. Such evolution will expectedly lead to changes in the …

Many biotic and abiotic variables influence the dispersal and distribution of organisms.
Temperature has a major role in determining these patterns because it changes daily …

The adaptability of organisms to novel environmental conditions depends on the amount of
genetic variance present in the population as well as on the ability of individuals to adjust …

Understanding how thermal selection affects phenotypic distributions across different time
scales will allow us to predict the effect of climate change on the fitness of ectotherms. We …

The ability to respond evolutionarily to increasing temperatures is important for survival of
ectotherms in a changing climate. Recent studies suggest that upper thermal limits may be …

Phenotypic plasticity may increase the performance and fitness and allow organisms to cope
with variable environmental conditions. We studied within‐generation plasticity and …

Thermal stress is a pervasive selective agent in natural populations that impacts organismal
growth, survival, and reproduction. Drosophila melanogaster exhibits a variety of putatively …

The range of thermal tolerance is one of the main factors influencing the geographic
distribution of species. Climate change projections predict increases in average and …
