Variability in body temperature is now recognized to be widespread among whole-body
endotherms with homeothermy being the exception rather than the norm. A wide range of …

Temperatures are increasing due to global changes, putting biodiversity at risk. Organisms
are faced with a limited set of options to cope with this situation: adapt, disperse or die. We …

The reproductive success of marine ectotherms is especially vulnerable in warming oceans
due to alterations in adult physiology, as well as embryonic and larval survival prospects …

Thermal ecology and mate competition are both pervasive features of ecological adaptation.
A surge of recent work has uncovered the diversity of ways in which temperature affects …

Performance benefits of stable, warm muscles are believed to be important for the evolution
of endothermy in mammals, birds and flying insects. However, thermal performance curves …

The climate variability hypothesis posits that an organism's exposure to temperature
variability determines the breadth of its thermal tolerance and has become an important …

Convergent evolution is widely regarded as a signature of adaptation. However, testing the
adaptive consequences of convergent phenotypes is challenging, making it difficult to …

Mammals use thermoregulatory behavioural strategies to reduce the cost of physiological
thermoregulation. Environmental temperatures should, therefore, impact their decisions. We …

Predicting the impacts of global warming on mutualisms poses a significant challenge given
the functional and life history differences that usually exist among interacting species …

The impacts of warming temperatures associated with climate change on performance are
poorly understood in most mammals. Thermal performance curves are a valuable means of …
