The range of resources that a species uses (ie its niche breadth) might determine the
geographical area it can occupy, but consensus on whether a niche breadth–range size …

Terrestrial ectotherms are likely to face increased periods of heat stress as mean
temperatures and temperature variability increase over the next few decades. Here, we …

Species may exhibit similar thermal tolerances via either common ancestry or environmental
filtering and local adaptation, if the species inhabit similar environments. We ask whether …

To understand how researchers are tackling globally important issues, it is crucial to identify
whether current research is comprehensive enough to make substantive predictions about …

Poleward range expansions are observed for an increasing number of species, which may
be an effect of global warming during the past decades. However, it is still not clear in how …

Genetic correlations between traits can constrain responses to natural selection. To what
extent such correlations limit adaptation depends on patterns of directional selection. I …

Severe impacts on biodiversity are predicted to arise from climate change. These impacts
may not be adequately addressed by conventional approaches to conservation. As a result …

Extreme climatic events can substantially affect organismal performance and Darwinian
fitness. In April 2011, a strong heat wave struck extensive geographical areas of the world …

Increasing acceptance that evolution can be 'rapid'(or 'contemporary') has generated
growing interest in the consequences for ecology. The genetics and genomics of these 'eco …

Although the potential to adapt to warmer climate is constrained by genetic trade-offs, our
understanding of how selection and mutation shape genetic (co) variances in thermal …
