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 …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Ecology and evolution have long been recognized as reciprocally influencing each other,
with recent research emphasizing how such interactions can occur even on very short …

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

Unprecedented warm sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies were observed off the west
coast of Australia in February–March 2011. Peak SST during a 2-week period were 5° C …

The present paper reviews the effects of water temperature and flow on migrations,
embryonic development, hatching, emergence, growth and life‐history traits in light of the …

During the last quarter of a century, the evolution of the thermal sensitivity of performance in
ectotherms has become a major focus of research programs in evolutionary physiology …

According to life‐history theory, growth rates are subject to strong directional selection due
to reproductive and survival advantages associated with large adult body size. Yet, growth is …

This topical and exciting textbook describes fisheries exploitation, biology, conservation and
management, and reflects many recent and important changes in fisheries science. These …
