Of the primary responses to contemporary climate change–“move, adapt, acclimate, or die”–
that are available to organisms,“acclimate” may be effectively achieved through behavioral …

Species' range limits are ubiquitous. This suggests that the evolution of the ecological niche
is constrained in general and at the edges of distributions in particular. While there may be …

High exposure to warming from climate change is expected to threaten biodiversity by
pushing many species toward extinction. Such exposure is often assessed for all taxa at a …

Forecasting the response of species and communities to environmental change is a priority
for multiple disciplines in the natural sciences. In looking toward the future, much can be …

Heat waves are known for their disastrous mass die-off effects due to dehydration and cell
damage, but little is known about the non-lethal consequences of surviving severe heat …

Desert organisms have evolved physiological, biochemical and genomic mechanisms to
survive the extreme aridity of desert environments. Studying desert-adapted species …

The miniaturization and affordability of new technology is driving a biologging revolution in
wildlife ecology with use of animal‐borne data logging devices. Among many new …

As the world warms, it will be tempting to relate the biological responses of terrestrial
animals to air temperature. But air temperature typically plays a lesser role in the heat …

Understanding behavioral responses of animals to the thermal environment is of increasing
importance under changing climate regimes. Thermoregulatory behaviors, such as …

The impacts of warming temperatures associated with climate change on performance are
poorly understood in most mammals. Thermal performance curves are a valuable means of …
