Highlights•Acclimation capacity is critically important for thermal tolerance of
insects.•Thermal acclimation is unlikely to rescue species currently challenged by global …

The effect of environmental stress on the magnitude of inbreeding depression has a long
history of intensive study. Inbreeding–stress interactions are of great importance to the …

Upper thermal limits vary less than lower limits among related species of terrestrial
ectotherms. This pattern may reflect weak or uniform selection on upper limits, or …

Biodiversity is increasingly subjected to human‐induced changes of the environment. To
persist, populations continually have to adapt to these often stressful changes including …

Species distributions are often constrained by climatic tolerances that are ultimately
determined by evolutionary history and/or adaptive capacity, but these factors have rarely …

Comparative analyses of ectotherm susceptibility to climate change often focus on thermal
extremes, yet responses to aridity may be equally important. Here we focus on plasticity in …

Simple Summary Rapamycin is commonly used as an immunosuppressant, but also as an
anti-aging medicine. Despite its widespread use, results suggest that there is large …

Phenotypic plasticity may be an important initial mechanism to counter environmental
change, yet we know relatively little about the evolution of plasticity in nature. Species with …

Ontogenetic variation in plasticity is important to understanding mechanisms and patterns of
thermal tolerance variation. The Bogert effect postulates that, to compensate for their inability …

Inbreeding and herbivory can interactively reduce the performance of flowering plants. Here,
we investigated whether the magnitude of plant inbreeding depression increases under …
