In many regions across the globe, extreme weather events such as storms have increased in
frequency, intensity, and duration due to climate change. Ecological theory predicts that …

Extreme temperatures can injure or kill organisms and can drive evolutionary patterns. Many
indices of extremes have been proposed, but few attempts have been made to establish …

Ecologists and many evolutionary biologists relate the variation in physiological,
behavioural, life‐history, demographic, population and community traits to the variation in …

To forecast extinction risks of natural populations under climate change and direct human
impacts, an integrative understanding of both phenotypic plasticity and adaptive evolution is …

Extreme climatic events (ECE s) are predicted to become more frequent as the climate
changes. A rapidly increasing number of studies–though few on animals–suggest that the …

In (st) age-structured populations, the long-run population growth rate is negatively affected
by temporal variation in vital rates. In most cases, natural selection should minimize …

As thermal regimes change worldwide, projections of future population and species
persistence often require estimates of how population growth rates depend on temperature …

Most animals have complex life cycles including metamorphosis or other discrete life stage
transitions, during which individuals may be particularly vulnerable to environmental …

More extreme climatic events (ECEs) are among the most prominent consequences of
climate change. Despite a long-standing recognition of the importance of ECEs by paleo …

Over the last few decades, biologists have made substantial progress in understanding
relationships between changing climates and organism performance. Much of this work has …
