Interactive effects of rising temperatures and urbanisation on birds across different climate zones: A mechanistic perspective
Climate change and urbanisation are among the most pervasive and rapidly growing threats
to biodiversity worldwide. However, their impacts are usually considered in isolation, and …

The impacts of heat stress on animal cognition: implications for adaptation to a changing climate
With global surface air temperature rising rapidly, extensive research effort has been
dedicated to assessing the consequences of this change for wildlife. While impacts on the …

Exposure to climate change drives stability or collapse of desert mammal and bird communities
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 …

Opportunity costs and the response of birds and mammals to climate warming
As global temperatures reach record highs, threats posed by climate change to biodiversity
become ever more severe. For endotherms, maintaining body temperature within safe …

High temperatures are associated with substantial reductions in breeding success and offspring quality in an arid-zone bird
During hot weather, terrestrial animals often seek shaded thermal refugia. However, this can
result in missed foraging opportunities, loss of body condition and impaired parental care …

Avian mortality risk during heat waves will increase greatly in arid Australia during the 21st century
Intense heat waves are occurring more frequently, with concomitant increases in the risk of
catastrophic avian mortality events via lethal dehydration or hyperthermia. We quantified the …

Heat tolerances of temperate and tropical birds and their implications for susceptibility to climate warming
Characterizing heat tolerance is critical for predicting an organism's vulnerability to climate
warming. Recent studies of ectotherms report that impacts of climate warming are expected …

High temperatures drive offspring mortality in a cooperatively breeding bird
An improved understanding of life-history responses to current environmental variability is
required to predict species-specific responses to anthopogenic climate change. Previous …

Hot droughts compromise interannual survival across all group sizes in a cooperatively breeding bird
Climate change is affecting animal populations around the world and one relatively
unexplored aspect of species vulnerability is whether and to what extent responses to …

Sensitivity of North American grassland birds to weather and climate variability
Abstract Grassland birds in North America have declined sharply over the last 60 years,
driven by the widespread loss and degradation of grassland habitats. Climate change is …
