Insects are among the most diverse and widespread animals across the biosphere and are
well‐known for their contributions to ecosystem functioning and services. Recent increases …

Trait‐based approaches are increasingly being used to test mechanisms underlying species
assemblages and biotic interactions across a wide range of organisms including terrestrial …

All climate change scenarios predict an increase in both global temperature means and the
magnitude of seasonal and diel temperature variation. The nonlinear relationship between …

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 …

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

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 …

Thermal performance curves (TPCs) describe the effects of temperature on biological rate
processes. Here, we use examples from our work on common killifish (Fundulus …

Cold tolerance is important in defining the distribution of insects. Here, we review the
principal physiological mechanisms underlying homeostatic failure during cold exposure in …

Climate change will increase both average temperatures and extreme summer
temperatures. Analyses of the fitness consequences of climate change have generally …

Over the last decade, numerous studies have investigated the role of oxygen in setting
thermal tolerance in aquatic animals, and there has been particular focus on arthropods …
