Climate warming is considered to be among the most serious of anthropogenic stresses to
the environment, because it not only has direct effects on biodiversity, but it also exacerbates …

Global change includes a substantial increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme high
temperatures (EHTs), which influence insects at almost all levels. The number of studies …

Understanding how species' thermal limits have evolved across the tree of life is central to
predicting species' responses to climate change. Here, using experimentally-derived …

Although it is well known that insects are sensitive to temperature, how they will be affected
by ongoing global warming remains uncertain because these responses are multifaceted …

Extreme temperature events are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate
change. Such events threaten insects, including pollinators, pests and disease vectors …

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 …

Climate change is increasing global temperatures and intensifying the frequency and
severity of extreme heat waves. How organisms will cope with these changes depends on …

Ectothermic animals, such as amphibians and reptiles, are particularly sensitive to rapidly
warming global temperatures. One response in these organisms may be to evolve aspects …

To forecast climate change impacts across habitats or taxa, thermal vulnerability indices (eg,
safety margins and warming tolerances) are growing in popularity. Here, we present their …

How ecological niche breadth evolves is central to adaptation and speciation and has been
a topic of perennial interest. Niche breadth evolution research has occurred within …
