Geographic range size has long fascinated ecologists and evolutionary biologists, yet our
understanding of the factors that cause variation in range size among species and across …

Highlights•Climate is changing fastest at high latitudes and in winter.•Phenological shifts in
response to climate change are common.•Warmer winters may influence spring phenology …

Thermal macrophysiology is an established research field that has led to well-described
patterns in the global structuring of climate adaptation and risk. However, since it was …

Thermal stress is a major driver of population declines and extinctions. Shifts in thermal
regimes create new environmental conditions, leading to trait adaptation, population …

Global temperature changes have emphasized the need to understand how species adapt
to thermal stress across their ranges. Genetic mechanisms may contribute to variation in …

Environments are changing rapidly, and to cope with these changes, organisms have to
adapt. Adaptation can take many shapes and occur at different speeds, depending on the …

Heritable symbionts can modify a range of ecologically important host traits, including
behavior. About half of all insect species are infected with maternally transmitted Wolbachia …

Climate change affects organisms worldwide with profound ecological and evolutionary
consequences, often increasing population extinction risk. Climatic factors can increase the …

Background The immense geologic and ecological complexity of the Caribbean has created
a natural laboratory for interpreting when and how organisms disperse through time and …

Large groups of species with well-defined phylogenies are excellent systems for testing
evolutionary hypotheses. In this paper, we describe the creation of a comparative genomic …
