Understanding and predicting how adaptation will contribute to species' resilience to climate
change will be paramount to successfully managing biodiversity for conservation …

Climatic factors influence the distribution of ectotherms, raising the possibility that
distributions of many species will shift rapidly under climate change and/or that species will …

Activity budgets influence the expression of life history traits as well as population dynamics.
For ectotherms, a major constraint on activity is environmental temperature. Nonetheless, we …

Ecological niche modeling has emerged as a notable tool in invasive species risk
assessment. However, the advances of the ecological niche theory, the basis of ecological …

Aim Predicted distributions of invasive species are often not congruent between their
realized native and introduced ranges, but the reasons for this are rarely investigated …

Heatwaves are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate change, pushing
animals beyond physiological limits. While most studies focus on survival limits, sublethal …

Insects are highly dependent on ambient temperatures to ensure their biological functions.
Their persistence in the environment and their resistance to unfavourable temperatures are …

Maternal temperature is known to affect many aspects of offspring phenotype, but its effect
on offspring physiological thermal tolerance has received less attention, despite the …

Landscape changes are known to exacerbate the impacts of climate change. As such,
understanding the combined effect of climate and landscape on agroecosystems is vital if …

Traits of physiological thermotolerance are commonly measured in the laboratory as
predictors of the field success of ectotherms at unfavourable temperatures (eg during harsh …
