Thermal performance curves (TPCs) describe the effects of temperature on biological rate
processes. Here, we use examples from our work on common killifish (Fundulus …

Temperature profoundly impacts both the phenotypes and distributions of organisms. These
thermal effects exert strong selective pressures on behaviour, physiology and life history …

Ocean ecosystems have responded and will continue to respond to climate changes of
different rates, magnitudes, and durations (virtually certain). Human societies depend on …

Rising ocean temperatures will alter the productivity and composition of marine
phytoplankton communities, thereby affecting global biogeochemical cycles. Predicting the …

Temperature provides a powerful theme for exploring environmental adaptation at all levels
of biological organization, from molecular kinetics to organismal fitness to global …

As the earth system changes in response to human activities, a critical objective is to predict
how biogeochemical process rates (eg nitrification, decomposition) and ecosystem function …

Despite decades of research on the evolution of thermal physiology, at least one
fundamental issue remains unresolved: whether the maximal performance of a genotype …

Fluctuations in abiotic and biotic conditions exist in almost all habitats (Dunlap, Loros, &
DeCoursey, 2004; Stevenson et al., 2015). Some fluctuations like the alternation between …

Characterizing thermal acclimation is a common goal of eco‐physiological studies and has
important implications for models of climate change and environmental adaptation …

To elucidate the mechanisms of thermal adaptation and acclimation in ectothermic aquatic
organisms from differing climates, we used a common‐garden experiment for thermal stress …
