Surviving changing climate conditions is particularly difficult for organisms such as insects
that depend on environmental temperature to regulate their physiological functions. Insects …

Understanding the factors affecting thermal tolerance is crucial for predicting the impact
climate change will have on ectotherms. However, the role developmental plasticity plays in …

Climate change may be a major threat to biodiversity in the next 100 years. Although there
has been important work on mechanisms of decline in some species, it generally remains …

Local adaptations can determine the potential of populations to respond to environmental
changes, yet adaptive genetic variation is commonly ignored in models forecasting species …

Global climate change (GCC) increasingly threatens biodiversity through the loss of species,
and the transformation of entire ecosystems. Many species are challenged by the pace of …

Integrative and proactive conservation approaches are critical to the long-term persistence
of biodiversity. Molecular data can provide important information on evolutionary processes …

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 …

Rising global temperatures are threatening biodiversity. Studies on the impact of
temperature on natural populations usually use lethal or viability thresholds, termed the …

Populations of many species are genetically adapted to local historical climate conditions.
Yet most forecasts of species' distributions under climate change have ignored local …

Extinction‐risk assessments play a major role in prioritizing conservation action at national
and international levels. However, quantifying extinction risk is challenging, especially when …
