The temporal dynamics of multiple stressor effects: from individuals to ecosystems
Multiple stressors, such as warming and invasions, often occur together and have
nonadditive effects. Most studies to date assume that stressors operate in perfect synchrony …

[HTML][HTML] Meta-analysis reveals weak but pervasive plasticity in insect thermal limits
Extreme temperature events are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate
change. Such events threaten insects, including pollinators, pests and disease vectors …

Physiological mechanisms of acute upper thermal tolerance in fish
This review is focused on the questions of why fish exhibit heat failure at thermal extremes
and which physiological mechanisms determine the acute upper thermal tolerance. We …

Limited plasticity in thermally tolerant ectotherm populations: evidence for a trade-off
Many species face extinction risks owing to climate change, and there is an urgent need to
identify which species' populations will be most vulnerable. Plasticity in heat tolerance …

Understanding how temperature shifts could impact infectious disease
Climate change is expected to have complex effects on infectious diseases, causing some to
increase, others to decrease, and many to shift their distributions. There have been several …
