Across the tree of life, populations have evolved the capacity to contend with suboptimal
conditions by engaging in dormancy, whereby individuals enter a reversible state of reduced …

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

The identification of patterns in life-history strategies across the tree of life is essential to our
prediction of population persistence, extinction, and diversification. Plants exhibit a wide …

• Premise of the study: Near‐future climate changes are likely to elicit major vegetation
changes. Disequilibrium dynamics, which occur when vegetation comes out of equilibrium …

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 597–605 Abstract Intensification or abandonment of agricultural
land use has led to a severe decline of semi‐natural habitats across Europe. This can cause …

Climate warming affects the phenology, local abundance and large‐scale distribution of
plants and pollinators. Despite this, there is still limited knowledge of how elevated …

Climate change is altering the phenology of species across the world, but what are the
consequences of these phenological changes for the demography and population dynamics …

Birds are among the most widely studied organisms on earth and represent an important
indicator group for learning about the effects of climate change–particularly in regard to the …

There is strong evidence that variations in climatic conditions deeply affect the bumblebee
fauna (eg Williams et al., 2007; Bartomeus et al., 2013a; Pradervand et al., 2014), and recent …

In contrast to pulses in resource availability following disturbance events, many of the most
pressing global changes, such as elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and …
