Predicting plastic responses is crucial to assess plant species potential to adapt to climate
change, but little is known about which factors drive the biogeographical patterns of …

Climate change is leading to shifts in species geographical distributions, but populations are
also probably adapting to environmental change at different rates across their range. Owing …

Species are the unit of analysis in many global change and conservation biology studies;
however, species are not uniform entities but are composed of different, sometimes locally …

Phenotypic plasticity has been suggested as the main mechanism for species persistence
under a global change scenario, and also as one of the main mechanisms that alien species …

Digestive flexibility is important because it allows an animal to maximize energy and nutrient
return from the diet consumed, and also to reduce the maintenance costs associated with …

Species' geographical distributions are tracking latitudinal and elevational surface
temperature gradients under global climate change. To evaluate the opportunities to track …

Phenotypic plasticity is thought to be important for plants in variable environments. The
climatic variability hypothesis poses that populations at higher latitudes, due to the stronger …

Examining physiological traits across large spatial scales can shed light on the
environmental factors driving physiological variation. For endotherms, flexibility in aerobic …

One of the fundamental goals in macroecology is to understand the relationship among
species' geographic ranges, ecophysiology, and climate; however, the mechanisms …

Phenotypic flexibility can be an important determinant of fitness in variable environments.
The climatic variability hypothesis (CVH) predicts that phenotypic flexibility in …
