How useful are thermal vulnerability indices?
To forecast climate change impacts across habitats or taxa, thermal vulnerability indices (eg,
safety margins and warming tolerances) are growing in popularity. Here, we present their …

[HTML][HTML] Meta-analysis reveals weak but pervasive plasticity in insect thermal limits
Extreme temperature events are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate
change. Such events threaten insects, including pollinators, pests and disease vectors …

Functional trait variation along animal invasion pathways
Functional trait–based mediation of animal invasions is only now develo**, yet it is
already showing as much promise as the approach has for plant invasion biology. Here, we …

Male fertility thermal limits predict vulnerability to climate warming
Forecasting which species/ecosystems are most vulnerable to climate warming is essential
to guide conservation strategies to minimize extinction. Tropical/mid-latitude species are …

Limited plasticity in thermally tolerant ectotherm populations: evidence for a trade-off
Many species face extinction risks owing to climate change, and there is an urgent need to
identify which species' populations will be most vulnerable. Plasticity in heat tolerance …

Expression plasticity regulates intraspecific variation in the acclimatization potential of a reef-building coral
Phenotypic plasticity is an important ecological and evolutionary response for organisms
experiencing environmental change, but the ubiquity of this capacity within coral species …

Negative relationship between thermal tolerance and plasticity in tolerance emerges during experimental evolution in a widespread marine invertebrate
Whether populations can adapt to predicted climate change conditions, and how rapidly, are
critical questions for the management of natural systems. Experimental evolution has …

Genetic differentiation underlies seasonal variation in thermal tolerance, body size, and plasticity in a short‐lived copepod
Organisms experience variation in the thermal environment on several different temporal
scales, with seasonality being particularly prominent in temperate regions. For organisms …
