Ectotherms are classic models for understanding life‐history tradeoffs, including the
reproduction–somatic maintenance tradeoffs that may be reflected in telomere length and …

Organisms exhibit extensive variation in ecological niche breadth, from very narrow
(specialists) to very broad (generalists). Two general paradigms have been proposed to …

Invasive species exert negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems on a global scale,
which may be enhanced in the future by climate change. Knowledge of how invasive …

Greater understanding of physiological responses to climate change demands deeper
comprehension of the causes and consequences of physiological variation. Increasingly …

Standard metabolic rate (SMR) and maximum metabolic rate (MMR) were determined for
Nile tilapia acclimated to six different experimental temperatures from 18° C to 38° C. SMR …

Many ectothermic animals can respond to changes in their environment by altering the
sensitivities of physiological rates, given sufficient time to do so. In other words, thermal …

The fundamental niches of bacteria can be defined along many environmental axes,
including temperature tolerance and resources consumed, while interactions with other …

Climate change is leading to rapid change in aquatic environments, increasing the mean
and variability of temperatures, and increasing the incidence of hypoxia. We investigated …

Developmental plasticity can match offspring phenotypes to environmental conditions
experienced by parents. Such epigenetic modifications are advantageous when parental …

Global change driven by anthropogenic carbon emissions is altering ecosystems at
unprecedented rates, especially coral reefs, whose symbiosis with algal symbionts is …
