Climate warming is considered to be among the most serious of anthropogenic stresses to
the environment, because it not only has direct effects on biodiversity, but it also exacerbates …

Tropicalization is a term used to describe the transformation of temperate ecosystems by
poleward‐moving tropical organisms in response to warming temperatures. In North …

A consequence of climate change is the increased frequency and severity of extreme heat
waves. This is occurring now as most of the warmest summers and most intense heat waves …

To forecast climate change impacts across habitats or taxa, thermal vulnerability indices (eg,
safety margins and warming tolerances) are growing in popularity. Here, we present their …

Evolutionary adaptation to temperature and climate depends on both the extent to which
organisms experience spatial and temporal environmental variation (exposure) and how …

Extreme events can be a major driver of evolutionary change over geological and
contemporary timescales. Outstanding examples are evolutionary diversification following …

Warming of aquatic environments as a result of climate change is already having
measurable impacts on fishes, manifested as changes in phenology, range shifts and …

Understanding how natural populations will respond to rapid anthropogenic climate change
is one of the greatest challenges for ecologists and evolutionary biologists. Much research …

Central ideas from thermal biology, including thermal performance curves and tolerances,
have been widely used to evaluate how changes in environmental means and variances …

Aim Viviparity has evolved more times in squamates than in any other vertebrate group;
therefore, squamates offer an excellent model system in which to study the patterns, drivers …
