Ectothermic animals, such as amphibians and reptiles, are particularly sensitive to rapidly
warming global temperatures. One response in these organisms may be to evolve aspects …

Climate change is altering phenology and distributions of many species and further changes
are projected. Can species physiologically adapt to climate warming? We analyse thermal …

The frequency, duration, and intensity of extreme thermal events are increasing and are
projected to further increase by the end of the century,. Despite the considerable …

Increases in the frequency, severity and duration of temperature extremes are anticipated in
the near future. Although recent work suggests that changes in temperature variation will …

A recently developed integrative framework proposes that the vulnerability of a species to
environmental change depends on the species' exposure and sensitivity to environmental …

Forecasting which species/ecosystems are most vulnerable to climate warming is essential
to guide conservation strategies to minimize extinction. Tropical/mid-latitude species are …

Plastic responses figure prominently in discussions on insect adaptation to climate change.
Here we review the different types of plastic responses and whether they contribute much to …

Linking variation in species' traits to large-scale environmental gradients can lend insight
into the evolutionary processes that have shaped functional diversity and future responses …

Terrestrial ectotherms are likely to face increased periods of heat stress as mean
temperatures and temperature variability increase over the next few decades. Here, we …

Ectotherms are considered to be particularly vulnerable to climate warming. Descriptions of
habitat temperatures and predicted changes in climate usually consider mean monthly …
