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

To forecast climate change impacts across habitats or taxa, thermal vulnerability indices (eg,
safety margins and warming tolerances) are growing in popularity. Here, we present their …

Much attention has been given to forecasting the likely effects of ongoing climate change on
biodiversity. A large and often contentious literature has developed about how changes in …

The relationships among species' physiological capacities and the geographical variation of
ambient climate are of key importance to understanding the distribution of life on the Earth …

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 …

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 …

Laboratory measurements of physiological and demographic tolerances are important in
understanding the impact of climate change on species diversity; however, it has been …

Global warming is increasing the overheating risk for many organisms, though the potential
for plasticity in thermal tolerance to mitigate this risk is largely unknown. In part, this …

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 …

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