Climate change is a pervasive and growing global threat to biodiversity and ecosystems.
Here, we present the most up-to-date assessment of climate change impacts on biodiversity …

Body size is central to ecology at levels ranging from organismal fecundity to the functioning
of communities and ecosystems. Understanding temperature‐induced variations in body …

Thermal performance curves (TPC s), which quantify how an ectotherm's body temperature
(Tb) affects its performance or fitness, are often used in an attempt to predict organismal …

Because of its profound effects on the rates of biological processes such as aerobic
metabolism, environmental temperature plays an important role in sha** the distribution …

Global warming and the loss of biodiversity through human activities (eg, land-use change,
pollution, invasive species) are two of the most profound threats to the functional integrity of …

Thermal acclimation capacity, the degree to which organisms can alter their optimal
performance temperature and critical thermal limits with changing temperatures, reflects …

Temperature imposes significant constraints on ectothermic animals, and these organisms
have evolved numerous adaptations to respond to these constraints. While the impacts of …

The environmental preferences of many microbes remain undetermined. This is the case for
bacterial pH preferences, which can be difficult to predict a priori despite the importance of …

In ecosystems, sharks can be predators, competitors, facilitators, nutrient transporters, and
food. However, overfishing and other threats have greatly reduced shark populations …

Humans have brought about unprecedented changes to environments worldwide. For many
species, behavioral adjustments represent the first response to altered conditions. In this …
