The landscape of fear (LOF) concept posits that prey navigate spatial heterogeneity in
perceived predation risk, balancing risk mitigation against other activities necessary for …

We consider the mechanistic basis and functional significance of the pervasive influence of
parasitic plants on productivity and diversity, synthesizing recent findings on their responses …

Animals migrate in response to seasonal environments, to reproduce, to benefit from
resource pulses, or to avoid fluctuating hazards. Although climate change is predicted to …

Protective responses are pivotal in aiding organismal persistence in complex, multi-stressor
environments. Multiple-stressor research has traditionally focused on the deleterious effects …

Thermal limits mark the boundaries of ectotherm performance, and are increasingly
appreciated as strong correlates and possible determinants of animal distribution patterns …

Mammalian heterotherms, species that employ short or long periods of torpor, are found in
many different climatic regions. Although the underlying physiological mechanisms of …

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 …

Climate change is occurring at an unprecedented rate and has begun to modify the
distribution and phenology of organisms worldwide. Chelonians are expected to be …

Temperature is an important environmental factor governing the ability of organisms to grow,
survive and reproduce. Thermal performance curves (TPCs), with some caveats, are useful …

Shifts in the timing of cyclic seasonal life-history events are among the most commonly
reported responses to climate change, with differences in response rates among interacting …
