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 …

In spite of their small global area and restricted distributions, tropical montane forests (TMFs)
are biodiversity hotspots and important ecosystem services providers, but are also highly …

Behavior is one of the major architects of evolution: by behaviorally modifying how they
interact with their environments, organisms can influence natural selection, amplifying it in …

Human activities often replace native forests with warmer, modified habitats that represent
novel thermal environments for biodiversity. Reducing biodiversity loss hinges upon …

Rising temperatures represent a significant threat to the survival of ectothermic animals. As
such, upper thermal limits represent an important trait to assess the vulnerability of …

As a class of vertebrates, amphibians, are at greater risk for declines or extinctions than any
other vertebrate group, including birds and mammals. There are many threats, including …

Climate change is affecting biodiversity and ecosystem function worldwide, and the lowland
tropics are of special concern because organisms living in this region experience …

Aim We analysed elevational and microclimatic drivers of thermal tolerance diversity in a
tropical mountain frog clade to test three macrophysiological predictions: less spatial …

Tropical mountains display limited variation in monthly temperatures, but high spatial
climatic variability. It is assumed this stability promotes ecological and physiological …

Global warming is having impacts across the Tree of Life. Understanding species'
physiological sensitivity to temperature change and how they relate to local temperature …
