The range of resources that a species uses (ie its niche breadth) might determine the
geographical area it can occupy, but consensus on whether a niche breadth–range size …

Terrestrial ectotherms are likely to face increased periods of heat stress as mean
temperatures and temperature variability increase over the next few decades. Here, we …

We evaluate the extent to which physiological tolerances and capacities can be considered
as factors that impact the geographic range of animals. We also discuss the importance of …

Eight years after DNA barcoding was formally proposed on a large scale, CO1 sequences
are rapidly accumulating from around the world. While studies to date have mostly targeted …

As a consequence of increasing atmospheric CO 2, the world's oceans are warming and
slowly becoming more acidic (ocean acidification, OA) and profound changes in marine …

Widespread recognition of the importance of biological studies at large spatial and temporal
scales, particularly in the face of many of the most pressing issues facing humanity, has …

The geographical range sizes of individual species vary considerably in extent, although the
factors underlying this variation remain poorly understood, and could include a number of …

Coffee is predicted to be severely affected by climate change. We determined the thermal
tolerance of the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei, the most devastating pest of …

Aim The climate variability hypothesis (CVH) states that a positive relationship may exist
between the breadth of thermal tolerance range and the level of climatic variability …

The geographic ranges of closely related species can vary dramatically, yet we do not fully
grasp the mechanisms underlying such variation. The niche breadth hypothesis posits that …
