Rising global temperatures are threatening biodiversity. Studies on the impact of
temperature on natural populations usually use lethal or viability thresholds, termed the …

Understanding and predicting how adaptation will contribute to species' resilience to climate
change will be paramount to successfully managing biodiversity for conservation …

The thermal biology of ectotherms is often used to infer species' responses to changes in
temperature. It is often proposed that temperate species are more cold-tolerant, less heat …

Insights into the causal mechanisms that limit species distributions are likely to improve our
ability to anticipate species range shifts in response to climate change. For species with …

Differences in population vulnerability to warming are defined by spatial patterns in thermal
adaptation. These patterns may be driven by natural selection over spatial environmental …

Temperature and nutrition are amongst the most common environmental challenges faced
by organisms and will become increasingly so with ongoing climate change. While we have …

Evolutionary change of thermal traits (ie, heat tolerance and behavioural thermoregulation)
is one of the most important mechanisms exhibited by organisms to respond to global …

Cave‐dwelling ectotherms, which have evolved for millions of years under stable thermal
conditions, could be expected to have adjusted their physiological limits to the narrow range …

Evolution, extinction, and dispersion are fundamental processes affecting marine
biodiversity. Until recently, studies of extant marine systems focused mainly on evolution and …

Climate warming is threatening biodiversity worldwide. Climate specialists such as alpine
species are especially likely to be vulnerable. Adaptation by rapid evolution is the only long …
