The accuracy of predictive models (also known as mechanistic or causal models) of animal
responses to climate change depends on properly incorporating the principles of heat …

Species distribution models (SDMs) have rapidly evolved into one of the most widely used
tools to answer a broad range of ecological questions, from the effects of climate change to …

As global temperatures reach record highs, threats posed by climate change to biodiversity
become ever more severe. For endotherms, maintaining body temperature within safe …

While climate change will have significant impacts on terrestrial organisms, microclimates
offer potential refugia for vulnerable species when regional conditions become unsuitable …

Urbanization and its urban‐heat‐island effect (UHI) have expanding footprints worldwide.
The UHI means that urban habitats experience a higher mean and more frequent extreme …

As climate change advances, there is a need to examine climate conditions at scales that
are ecologically relevant to species. While microclimates in forested systems have been …

Two fundamental issues in ecology are understanding what influences the distribution and
abundance of organisms through space and time. While it is well established that broad …

As the world warms, it will be tempting to relate the biological responses of terrestrial
animals to air temperature. But air temperature typically plays a lesser role in the heat …

How organisms respond to and are influenced by temperature is one of the most
fundamental aspects of ecology. Temperature affects animal physiology, behavior, survival …

Habitat selection by animals is influenced by and mitigates the effects of predation and
environmental extremes. For birds, nest site selection is crucial to offspring production …
