Phenotypic plasticity, if adaptive, may allow species to counter the detrimental effects of
extreme conditions, but the infrequent occurrence of extreme environments and/or their …

Aim Many conservation efforts now focus on mitigating biodiversity loss due to climate
change. While a focus on impacts from mean, long‐term changes in climate is warranted …

Phenotypic plasticity is a major mechanism of response to global change. However, current
plastic responses will only remain adaptive under future conditions if informative …

Extreme events can be a major driver of evolutionary change over geological and
contemporary timescales. Outstanding examples are evolutionary diversification following …

Sea-level rise will lead to widespread habitat loss if warming exceeds 2° C, threatening
coastal wildlife globally. Reductions in coastal habitat quality are also expected but their …

More extreme climatic events (ECEs) are among the most prominent consequences of
climate change. Despite a long-standing recognition of the importance of ECEs by paleo …

Highlights•Behaviour research has neglected climate change, a great threat to biodiversity.•
Behavioural variation probably explains idiosyncratic responses to climate.•To manage for …

Extreme climatic events could be major drivers of biodiversity change, but it is unclear
whether extreme biological changes are (i) individualistic (species-or group-specific),(ii) …

Climate models, and empirical observations, suggest that anthropogenic climate change is
leading to changes in the occurrence and severity of extreme climatic events (ECEs). Effects …

Bet‐hedging evolves in fluctuating environments because long‐term genotype success is
determined by geometric (rather than arithmetic) mean fitness across generations …
