Mountains contribute disproportionately to the terrestrial biodiversity of Earth, especially in
the tropics, where they host hotspots of extraordinary and puzzling richness. With about 25 …

Temperature affects many life processes, but its effect might be expected to differ among
eukaryotic organisms inhabiting similar environments. We reviewed literature on …

Montane species worldwide are shifting upslope in response to recent temperature
increases. These upslope shifts are predicted to lead to mountaintop extinctions of species …

Thermal macrophysiology is an established research field that has led to well-described
patterns in the global structuring of climate adaptation and risk. However, since it was …

Aim To test if physiological acclimation can buffer species against increasing extreme heat
due to climate change. Location Global. Time period 1960 to 2015. Major taxa studied …

Aim The negative correlation between temperature and body size of ectothermic animals
(broadly known as the temperature‐size rule or TSR) is a widely observed pattern …

Temperature profoundly affects species' geographic ranges, but the extent to which it limits
contemporary range edges has been difficult to assess from laboratory experiments of …

Global warming is increasing mean temperatures and altering temperature variability at
multiple temporal scales. To better understand the consequences of changes in thermal …

Characterizing thermal acclimation is a common goal of eco‐physiological studies and has
important implications for models of climate change and environmental adaptation …

The thermal biology of ectotherms is often used to infer species' responses to changes in
temperature. It is often proposed that temperate species are more cold-tolerant, less heat …
