Behavior is one of the major architects of evolution: by behaviorally modifying how they
interact with their environments, organisms can influence natural selection, amplifying it in …

Simple Summary Anthropogenic climate change is one of the greatest threats to biodiversity.
Extreme temperature events associated with longer-term climate change are increasing in …

Species turnover with elevation is a widespread phenomenon and provides valuable
information on why and how ecological communities might reorganize as the climate warms …

Snow insulates the soil from air temperature, decreasing winter cold stress and altering
energy use for organisms that overwinter in the soil. As climate change alters snowpack and …

Most ectotherms rely on behavioural thermoregulation to maintain body temperatures close
to their physiological optimum. Hence, ectotherms can drastically limit their exposure to …
