Understanding the factors affecting thermal tolerance is crucial for predicting the impact
climate change will have on ectotherms. However, the role developmental plasticity plays in …

Predicting plastic responses is crucial to assess plant species potential to adapt to climate
change, but little is known about which factors drive the biogeographical patterns of …

Montane species worldwide are shifting upslope in response to recent temperature
increases. These upslope shifts are predicted to lead to mountaintop extinctions of species …

Motivation More than half of Earth's species are contained in a mere 1.4% of its land area,
but the climates of many of these biodiversity hotspots are projected to disappear as a …

Upper thermal limits (CTmax) are frequently used to parameterize the fundamental niche of
ectothermic animals and to infer biogeographical distribution limits under current and future …

Evergreen species are widespread across the globe, representing two major plant functional
forms in terrestrial models. We reviewed and analysed the responses of photosynthesis and …

Global warming is increasing the overheating risk for many organisms, though the potential
for plasticity in thermal tolerance to mitigate this risk is largely unknown. In part, this …

A recently developed integrative framework proposes that the vulnerability of a species to
environmental change depends on the species' exposure and sensitivity to environmental …

Linking variation in species' traits to large-scale environmental gradients can lend insight
into the evolutionary processes that have shaped functional diversity and future responses …

Recent studies have generated an explosion of phylogenetic and biogeographic data and
have provided new tools to investigate the processes driving large-scale gradients in …
