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 …

Although studies quantifying evolutionary change in response to the selective pressures that
organisms face in the wild have demonstrated that organisms can evolve rapidly, we lack a …

Increased global temperatures caused by climate change are causing species to shift their
ranges and colonize new sites, creating novel assemblages that have historically not …

Temperature is a key environmental parameter affecting both the phenotypes and
distributions of organisms, particularly ectotherms. Rapid organismal responses to thermal …

Physiological processes influence how individuals perform in various environmental
contexts. The basis of such processes, metabolism, scales allometrically with body mass …

Cyclical parthenogenesis is a widespread reproductive strategy in which organisms go
through one or multiple rounds of clonal reproduction before sexual reproduction. Because …

How communities reorganize during climate change depends on the distribution of diversity
within ecosystems and across landscapes. Understanding how environmental and …

Temperature strongly shapes the physiology and distributions of ectotherms. Environmental
extremes and the range of temperatures encountered can limit persistence. Further, thermal …

Field stations are platforms for documenting patterns and processes in ecosystems and are
critical for understanding how anthropogenic climate change reshapes nature. Although …

Species may cope with warming through both rapid evolutionary and plastic responses.
While thermal performance curves (TPCs), reflecting thermal plasticity, are considered …
