How ecological niche breadth evolves is central to adaptation and speciation and has been
a topic of perennial interest. Niche breadth evolution research has occurred within …

The accuracy of predictive models (also known as mechanistic or causal models) of animal
responses to climate change depends on properly incorporating the principles of heat …

Human activities are causing global biotic redistribution, translocating species and providing
them with opportunities to establish populations beyond their native ranges. Species …

Protected areas (PAs) are the primary strategy for slowing terrestrial biodiversity loss.
Although expansion of PA coverage is prioritized under the Convention on Biological …

Thermal macrophysiology is an established research field that has led to well-described
patterns in the global structuring of climate adaptation and risk. However, since it was …

Studies that evaluate climate change projections over the whole of South America (SA) and
including different seasons and models are scarce. In this context, the objective of this work …

Extreme temperatures can injure or kill organisms and can drive evolutionary patterns. Many
indices of extremes have been proposed, but few attempts have been made to establish …

Evaporative heat dissipation is a key aspect of avian thermoregulation in hot environments.
We quantified variation in avian thermoregulatory performance at high air temperatures (T a) …

A major challenge in modern biology is to understand extinction risk from climate change
across all realms. Recent research has revealed that physiological tolerance, behavioral …

In the face of climate change, the life history traits of large terrestrial mammals will prevent
them from adapting genetically at a sufficient pace to keep track with changing …
