BACKGROUND Although the ocean moderates anthropogenic climate change, this has
great impacts on its fundamental physics and chemistry, with important consequences for …

BACKGROUND Climate change impacts have now been documented across every
ecosystem on Earth, despite an average warming of only~ 1° C so far. Here, we describe the …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments1, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

Lake ecosystems, and the organisms that live within them, are vulnerable to temperature
change,,,–, including the increased occurrence of thermal extremes. However, very little is …

Lake surfaces are warming worldwide, raising concerns about lake organism responses to
thermal habitat changes. Species may cope with temperature increases by shifting their …

Hybridization may drive rare taxa to extinction through genetic swam**, where the rare
form is replaced by hybrids, or by demographic swam**, where population growth rates …

Temperature is one of the main environmental factors that affect plant metabolism.
Considering that plants are sessile, their survival depends on the efficient activation of …

Genetic rescue can increase the fitness of small, imperiled populations via immigration. A
suite of studies from the past decade highlights the value of genetic rescue in increasing …

Water temperature is critical for the ecology of lakes. However, the ability to predict its spatial
and seasonal variation is constrained by the lack of a thermal classification system. Here we …
