Identifying factors that influence how ectothermic animals respond physiologically to
changing temperatures is of high importance given current threats of global climate change …

Abstract.—Timing of breeding and offspring size are maternal traits that may influence
offspring competitive ability, dispersal, foraging, and vulnerability to predation and climatic …

Amphibians and reptiles will be adversely affected by projected rapid changes in climate in
the next decades. Here, we review the known and potential impacts of climate change on …

Body size at metamorphosis is a key trait in species (such as many anurans) with biphasic
life-histories. Experimental studies have shown that metamorph size is highly plastic …

Despite the importance assigned to inter-patch movements in fragmented systems, the
structure of landscape between suitable habitat patches, the matrix, is often considered as to …

Timing of reproduction influences future prospects of offspring and therefore the
reproductive value of parents. Early offspring are often more valuable than later ones when …

In species with internal fertilization, females can 'cryptically'choose (eg through sperm
selection) which individuals sire their offspring, even when their overt preferences for …

Understanding the genetic architecture of reproductive barriers and the evolutionary forces
that drove their divergence represents a considerable challenge towards understanding …

В течение достаточно продолжительного времени хозяйственная деятельность
человека носит глобальный характер и достигает планетарных масштабов. Сейчас …

Climate change may cause phenological asynchrony between trophic levels, which can
lead to mismatched reproduction in animals. Although indirect effects of mismatch on fitness …
