Researchers and practitioners are increasingly using comparative assessments of critical
thermal and physiological limits to assess the relative vulnerability of ectothermic species to …

Critical thermal limits often determine species distributions for diverse ectotherms and have
become a useful tool for understanding past and predicting future range shifts in response to …

Comparative analyses of ectotherm susceptibility to climate change often focus on thermal
extremes, yet responses to aridity may be equally important. Here we focus on plasticity in …

Parental environments are regularly shown to alter the mean fitness of offspring, but their
impacts on the genetic variation for fitness, which predicts adaptive capacity and is also …

The impact of climate change may be felt most keenly by tropical ectotherms. In these taxa, it
is argued, thermal specialization means a given shift in temperature will have a larger effect …

Drosophila teissieri and D. yakuba diverged approximately 3 mya and are thought to share a
large, ancestral, African range [1–3]. These species now co-occur in parts of continental …

Elucidating how ecological and evolutionary mechanisms interact to produce and maintain
biodiversity is a fundamental problem in evolutionary ecology. Here, we focus on how …

Large comparative studies in animal ecology, physiology and evolution often use animals
reared in the laboratory for many generations; however, the relevance of these studies …

Niche divergence among closely related lineages can be informative on the ecological and
evolutionary processes involved in differentiation, particularly in the case of cryptic species …

The evolutionary consequences of temporal variation in selection remain hotly debated. We
explored these consequences by studying threespine stickleback in a set of bar‐built …
