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

Exposure to extreme temperatures can negatively affect animal reproduction, by disrupting
the ability of individuals to produce any offspring (fertility), or the number of offspring …

ABSTRACT A central question in ecology and evolution is to understand why sexual
selection varies so much in strength across taxa; it has long been known that ecological …

Hot days in summer (involving a few hours at particularly high temperatures) are expected to
become more common under climate change. How such events at different life stages affect …

Thermal ecology and mate competition are both pervasive features of ecological adaptation.
A surge of recent work has uncovered the diversity of ways in which temperature affects …

The increase of environmental temperature due to current global warming is not only
favouring the expansion of the distribution range of many insect species, but it is also …

Heatwaves are occurring at an increasing frequency and intensity under ongoing climate
change. As many reproductive traits—including mating behaviour and gamete traits—are …

Ongoing anthropogenic climate change has increased attention on the ecological and
evolutionary consequences of thermal variation. Most research in this field has focused on …

Using basic ecological concepts, we introduce sperm ecology as a framework to study
sperm cells. First, we describe environmental effects on sperm and conclude that …

The predicted temperature increase caused by climate change is a threat to biodiversity.
Across animal taxa, male reproduction is often sensitive to elevated temperatures leading to …
