Upper thermal limits (CTmax) are frequently used to parameterize the fundamental niche of
ectothermic animals and to infer biogeographical distribution limits under current and future …

Thermal acclimation capacity, the degree to which organisms can alter their optimal
performance temperature and critical thermal limits with changing temperatures, reflects …

A recently developed integrative framework proposes that the vulnerability of a species to
environmental change depends on the species' exposure and sensitivity to environmental …

Terrestrial ectotherms are likely to face increased periods of heat stress as mean
temperatures and temperature variability increase over the next few decades. Here, we …

Temperature tolerance is critical for defining the fundamental niche of ectotherms and
researchers classically use either static (exposure to a constant temperature) or dynamic …

Biological impacts of climate warming are predicted to increase with latitude, paralleling
increases in warming. However, the magnitude of impacts depends not only on the degree …

How thermal tolerance estimated in the laboratory can be extrapolated to natural settings
remains a contentious subject. Here, we argue that the general premise that a single …

Understanding and predicting how adaptation will contribute to species' resilience to climate
change will be paramount to successfully managing biodiversity for conservation …

The potential for adaptive evolution to enable species persistence under a changing climate
is one of the most important questions for understanding impacts of future climate change …

The acute thermal tolerance of ectotherms has been measured in a variety of ways; these
include assays where organisms are shifted abruptly to stressful temperatures and assays …
