Understanding the factors affecting thermal tolerance is crucial for predicting the impact
climate change will have on ectotherms. However, the role developmental plasticity plays in …

Ectotherms that maintain thermal balance in the face of varying climates should be able to
colonise a wide range of habitats. In lizards, thermoregulation usually appears as a variety …

Extreme temperature events are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate
change. Such events threaten insects, including pollinators, pests and disease vectors …

Rising temperatures represent a significant threat to the survival of ectothermic animals. As
such, upper thermal limits represent an important trait to assess the vulnerability of …

Under climate change, increasing air temperature average and variability pose substantial
thermal challenges to animals. While plasticity in thermoregulatory traits could potentially …

Thermal conditions in the developmental environment can substantially affect an individual's
phenotype, particularly in egg-laying ectotherms. However, whether these effects persist into …

Temperature is a key factor mediating organismal fitness and has important consequences
for species' ecology. While the mean effects of temperature on behaviour have been well …

Populations must adapt to environmental changes to remain viable. Both evolution and
phenotypic plasticity contribute to adaptation, with plasticity possibly being more important …

Meta-analysis is a powerful tool used to generate quantitatively informed answers to
pressing global challenges. By distilling data from broad sets of research designs and study …

Thermal tolerance plasticity is a core mechanism by which organisms can mitigate the
effects of climate change. As a result, there is a need to understand how variation in …
