Populations of many species are genetically adapted to local historical climate conditions.
Yet most forecasts of species' distributions under climate change have ignored local …

The physical and ecological 'fingerprints' of anthropogenic climate change over the past
century are now well documented in many environments and taxa. We reviewed the …

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

Behavior is one of the major architects of evolution: by behaviorally modifying how they
interact with their environments, organisms can influence natural selection, amplifying it in …

Although the term environmental stress is used across multiple fields in biology, the inherent
ambiguity associated with its definition has caused confusion when attempting to …

Anthropogenic environmental change is exposing animals to changes in a complex array of
interacting stressors and is already having important effects on the distribution and …

Loss of aerobic scope at high and low temperatures is a physiological mechanism proposed
to limit the thermal performance and tolerance of organisms, a theory known as oxygen-and …

Average sea-surface temperature and the amount of CO2 dissolved in the ocean are rising
as a result of increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2. Many coral reef fishes appear …

A quantitative understanding of physiological thermal responses is vital for forecasting
species distributional shifts in response to climate change. Many studies have focused on …

Thermoregulation in ectothermic animals is influenced by the ability to effectively respond to
thermal variations. While it is known that ectotherms are affected by thermal changes, it …
