Substantial global attention is focused on how to reduce the risk of future pandemics.
Reducing this risk requires investment in prevention, preparedness, and response. Although …

Climate change and urbanisation are among the most pervasive and rapidly growing threats
to biodiversity worldwide. However, their impacts are usually considered in isolation, and …

Addressing the ongoing biodiversity crisis requires identifying the winners and losers of
global change. Species are often categorized based on how they respond to habitat loss; for …

Climate warming is increasingly exposing wildlife to sublethal high temperatures, which may
lead to chronic impacts and reduced fitness. Telomere length (TL) may link heat exposure to …

Because of higher extinction rates due to human and natural factors, more basic and applied
research in reproductive biology is required to preserve wild species and design proper …

More extreme climatic events (ECEs) are among the most prominent consequences of
climate change. Despite a long-standing recognition of the importance of ECEs by paleo …

Biotic selective pressures dominate explanations for the evolutionary ecology of tropical
endotherms. Yet, abiotic factors, principally precipitation regimes, shape biogeographical …

Abstract Changes in the environment related to inclement weather can threaten survival and
reproductive success both through direct adverse exposure and indirectly by decreasing …

The ability to maintain a (relatively) stable body temperature in a wide range of thermal
environments by use of endogenous heat production is a unique feature of endotherms such …

An improved understanding of life-history responses to current environmental variability is
required to predict species-specific responses to anthopogenic climate change. Previous …
