Why are species' traits weak predictors of range shifts?
SR Beissinger, EA Riddell - Annual Review of Ecology …, 2021 - annualreviews.org
We examine the evidence linking species' traits to contemporary range shifts and find they
are poor predictors of range shifts that have occurred over decades to a century. We then …

Comparison of vertebrate skin structure at class level: A review
The skin is a barrier between the internal and external environment of an organism.
Depending on the species, it participates in multiple functions. The skin is the organ that …

Thermal cues drive plasticity of desiccation resistance in montane salamanders with implications for climate change
Organisms rely upon external cues to avoid detrimental conditions during environmental
change. Rapid water loss, or desiccation, is a universal threat for terrestrial plants and …

A hierarchical approach to understanding physiological associations with climate
Aim Our understanding of species' responses to climate depends on choosing the scale for
the analysis. Processes driving physiological adaptation that occur at the small spatial …

Beyond Janzen's hypothesis: How amphibians that climb tropical mountains respond to climate variation
Janzen's hypothesis (JH) posits that low thermal variation selects for narrow physiological
tolerances, and thus small species distributional ranges and high species turnover along …

Spatial ecology of the invasive Asian common toad in Madagascar and its implications for invasion dynamics
Invasion dynamics are determined, among other aspects, by the spatial behaviour of
invasive populations. The invasive toad Duttaphrynus melanostictus is spreading inland …
